Bushwick Street Art
About This Place
Bushwick is Brooklyn's open-air gallery. Entire building facades are painted with large-scale murals by local and international artists. The Bushwick Collective on Troutman Street is the epicentre, but colour and creativity spill onto nearly every block in the neighbourhood.
Where It Is
Bushwick Collective / Bushwick - Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY
Things to Know
- Tips for this place
- Explore the surrounding blocks too. Some of the best pieces are on side streets away from the main corridor.
- Start on Troutman Street between Irving and Evergreen for the densest concentration of murals.
How to Capture It
- Capture tips
- Including a person in the frame for scale makes the large-scale murals much more impactful in photos. Overcast days eliminate harsh shadows on the walls and let the colours pop.
Message from the creator
Emma
The murals rotate constantly, so even if you have been before, something will be new. I check the Bushwick Collective Instagram before each visit to see what has been freshly painted.
