Soho Street Art tour

Took Manhattan Street Art Tour and experienced the Lower East Side (LES), a playground for street artists, with street art hidden in courtyards or on the more prominent street art facades.— at SoHo, Manhattan.

The street art is smart vandalism for spreading messages.  Taking "Art is Trash" http://franciscodepajaro.blogspot.com/ as an example, the artist's message is Converting Your Garbage Into a Fleeting Work of Art.

The artists have to work in the  midnight to avoiding getting caught by the police, unless permitted by the property owners. Some artists become well known and charge thousands for a piece of work.
