    It's not exactly, clean or establishment friendly graffiti (thank God) but they usually use dark…read morecolors that help you feel what they're trying to say.

    This review is a long time coming:…read more A few years ago when I was living in the LES, I noticed these eyesores that were the construction containers for the Houston Restoration Project. Then one day I happened by, and they were no longer those drab, depressing, steel tombs- they were turned into long, cubic works of art. Each side of the container was now adorned with a vibrant image. Upon further investigation, I learned that it was due to the newly created Centre-fuge Public Art Project Centre-fuge was the brainchild a few other local LES residents, who too were tired of the eyesores. They turned the boring containers into a rotating street art gallery, that initially featured local artists. Now, going into its 5th year (and its 20th cycle), Centre-fuge has expanded not only further into the East Village at the First street Green Art Park, but into Brooklyn/outer boroughs, as well as down to Miami. The cycles rotate every 3 months, when they buff the containers and invite new artists, now from around the globe. Anyone can actually submit to be considered to cover a portion of a container/wall, via their website. Centre-fuge is a great project that not only beautifies neighborhoods, but brings together communities. If you're into street art/graffiti, be sure to head to LES to check out the project. While you're there, mosey over to the Bowery wall at Bowery/Houston for another rotating mural. Then head down to Little Italy, for the L.I.S.A Project.

    Before today, my review would've likely been glowing. The artwork in that's been associated with…read morethem in NYC is almost always spectacular and a welcome addition to the city-scape. Unfortunately I found out recently that they're actually quite shady and manipulative. They don't actually create or curate the art in Little Italy - they pretend to support it, plaster it on their social media, and try to profit from it. At the expense of the actual artists that create the art they're showcasing. They've gotten into legal action with artists over marketing rights for the art that they claim to "support", but essentially want to mooch off of and shake down for $$$. A lot of the gorgeous art, such as the Audrey Hepburn picture on Mulberry St, are examples that they claim to be big endorsers of - but have actually fought the artists over, to win sole rights to commercializing posters etc. They've tried to destroy murals & privately commissioned public art without consent or notification to the artists themselves. Again, mostly for the chance to bring in new art and profit from online sales of merchandise / picture rights. And they're more than happy to block/ban/remove you from any of their social media if you even think of leaving a vaguely negative comment (even a politely-worded one). A word to the wise: good, wholesome, community-minded organizations NEVER block or throttle people into silence because they might disagree with them. And they NEVER treat artists like they're disposable sources of income. This organization does not represent Little Italy in the slightest. Be very, very careful if you're ever asked to work with them. Better yet, stay clear of them altogether.

    The L. I. S. A. Project NYC…read more I'm not sure about the politics of what's behind this organization. There appears to be some controversy in the Yelp Reviews. I'm just a huge fan of graffiti. I love the color it adds to the city. I love the smile it puts on my face. I like the happy feeling I get inside when I see it. I also like the legal authorization of the activity. For many years it was an offense to express yourself and your artistic talent in this manner. I'm glad Little Italy has embraced this organization and the art they promote. Please Visit Little Italy and keep your eyes open for the murals. They are here, there, and everywhere! I'm posting photos I've taken in the past couple years. I hope you enjoy. I can't wait to return!
