American 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center is considered the real Mecca of all street artists. After all, this is one of the few places where representatives of street art can create for their own pleasure, doing it completely legally and without fear of prosecution from the law.
The former industrial complex of Long Island City (New York State) was turned into an open-air graffiti museum, and now about 18, 5 thousand square meters of the surface of old buildings are covered with creative drawings by dozens of authors. 5Pointz Aerosol Art Center attracts the attention of even those who do not consider themselves to be big fans of graffiti. In short, everyone agrees that this is something amazing.
With the support of art center curator Jonathan Cohen, anyone can take part in the creation of the world's largest graffiti exhibition. Artists from Japan, Brazil, the Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland and other countries come here, and those visitors who come to the "5Pointz Aerosol Art Center" on weekends very often have the opportunity to watch the process of creating graffiti. Now in the art center there are already about 350 of the most diverse drawings, and the original collection is constantly being replenished.
5Pointz Aerosol Art Center is open at any time of the day or night and is absolutely free. And regular visitors on each visit will definitely find new works here. So if you are in Long Island City - you are welcome!
