I was in New York for a couple of days and read about the Aerosol Art Center at 45 Davis Street in Long Island City. A mecca for graffiti (Aerosol Art) where the building owner has allowed artists to put their work on the walls of this 200,000 SF property. Organized through 5Pointz, permits have been awarded to the artists and each work stays for a set time and then is replaced with a new creation. Unfortunately, the property is now scheduled for demolition to make way for a couple of new condo towers, so i headed over to get some pictures before it is gone. If in NYC this is worth checking out! Great artwork and a unique setting!

Good Morning Gloucester 
Very cool Lowell! I’ve always thought the owner of the Tool Company in Rockport should let graffiti artists have a go at the metal part of the building before they tear it down. There are some amazing graffiti artists.

Amazing work there – so sad it will all be torn down for luxury towers to take its place. Here in America, we call it progress.

Great post Lowell. Maybe they can do it at the Birdseye Building before they tear it down.

I like the idea! Between the Tool Works and this, this might get better visibility…
