This 4th of July holiday weekend in New York is alive with art on the streets, on roofs, on stoops, in parks, on piers. And run down back lots, tunnels, abandoned spots. Check your local listings.
Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring ARC, BAST, Bibbito, Bifido, Cash4, Clint Mario, Don John, Entes y Pesimo, Faith47, JR, Keely, Smells, The Yok, and WK Interact.
