This immersive exploration begins with a private, three-hour guided tour, followed by an intimate graffiti art session with a celebrated local artist.

Your adventure commences at the iconic Maria Hernandez Park, where you will be welcomed by your expert guide who has an unparalleled knowledge of the area’s artistic evolution. This introduction will provide a captivating overview of Bushwick’s transformation into a globally recognised street art hub.

Our first destination is the renowned Bushwick Collective, an open-air gallery that features a dazzling array of works by both local and international artists. As you stroll down Troutman Street, you’ll encounter some of the most celebrated murals, each with its own story and artistic nuance. Your guide will illuminate the techniques and inspirations behind these masterpieces, offering exclusive insights that enrich your understanding and appreciation of the art.

Delve deeper into the neighbourhood’s hidden treasures along Jefferson Street and Morgan Avenue, where you’ll discover striking, lesser-known artworks that exemplify the raw creativity and spirit of the local graffiti culture. These stops offer a more intimate glimpse into the community, highlighting pieces that resonate with social and cultural significance.

The tour also addresses the dynamic evolution of street art in Bushwick, tracing its journey from illicit activity to respected art form. Engage in a thoughtful discussion on the impacts of gentrification and the interplay between sanctioned and unsanctioned art. Observe walls where commissioned murals and spontaneous tags coexist, providing a vivid illustration of the area’s artistic vibrancy.

Your guide will then escort you to a private studio for an exclusive graffiti art experience.

Upon arrival at the artist’s studio, receive a warm introduction to the essentials of graffiti art, from the various spray paints and caps to the necessary safety gear. Under the artist’s expert guidance, you’ll learn fundamental techniques, styles, and lettering, laying the groundwork for your creative expression.

Begin by sketching your design on paper, then practice your newfound skills on a dedicated wall. Once ready, transition to creating your own graffiti artwork on a provided canvas or designated space. This hands-on session is tailored to encourage personal expression and creativity, with the artist offering personalized tips and support throughout the process.

As your private graffiti art experience draws to a close, take time to review and discuss your creation with the artist, receiving invaluable feedback. Capture the moment with photographs of your artwork.

This meticulously curated experience promises to deliver an unparalleled exploration of Bushwick’s street art scene, blending cultural immersion with personal creativity for a truly memorable adventure.
