Overview

Having been a place where many various cultures, races and ages meet each other, New York has developed a unique cultural background. Street art now is a valuable and important part of modern art because of its convenience and audience – people create right on the streets and other people see it, so it lets creator realize whether he is moving in the right way or not. Moreover, as it was said, various cultures are mixed, so street art is expressed in many ways, from graffiti to paintings, from painted pieces to digital art. Now you have a chance to dive into New York street culture and enjoy significant masterpieces.
