A Wellspring: New York City Walls That Overflow

For the Street Art aficionados and for those that observe the arts in general New York City offers a year-round wellspring of inspiration. In particular, there are a number of well-known walls that get plastered and sprayed and tagged upon continuously, ever changing and ever interesting.

When you think of individual creativity we think of the old saying “we all drink from the same well”. With the explosion of real estate construction all over the city in the past decade we are very fortunate indeed to have many such wells/walls for complex Street Art “collaborations”.  At any time there is new art on walls in diverse neighborhoods throughout the city like Soho, Chelsea, The Lower East Side, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Red Hook, Long Island City and the Bronx to mention a few.

Below are images from just one such wall; An ever-changing gallery in the neighborhood of Chelsea in Manhattan.
