Since the end of the 1960s, aerosol paint has been an outlet and a powerful tool for social change.
Graffiti writers and street artists alike, have communicated their individual expression, social commentary, environmental concerns, and cultural frustrations on walls, doors, in alleys, and subway tunnels. New murals pop up every day, but the old graffiti, off the beaten path, is both gritty and alive and personifies urban living and the vibe of the people.

TRAVEL TIPS
Finding Graffiti in NYC:
- Graffiti can be found in all big cities, but New York stakes the claim on some of the most expressive graffiti in the world. Be prepared to walk if you want to see the best of the best. Take an extra pair of walking shoes in a backpack. Get out there and tour by foot. You will walk miles in the Big Apple. Changing your shoes mid-day will give your feet a rejuvenation to help you keep going.
- Some amazing spots to check out graffiti are: 100 Gates Project (Lower East Side), 190 Bowery (Lower East Side), Wall of Fame (Harlem), Candy Factory (SOHO) and so many more. Or just wander and discover so much more.
- Use your cell phone to photograph. It is light, inconspicuous, easy to handle, it is great for close ups and the panoramic feature is a star for large murals.
