Where the Subway Tunnels Become Canvases
Beneath the Morgan Ave L train stop, the Bushwick Collective isn’t your grandma’s gallery. This rotating maze of street art, curated by local anarchists, transforms abandoned warehouses into immersive installations. Think: neon murals critiquing gentrification, VR exhibits in burnt-out cars, and punk bands playing in spray-painted Porta-Potties.
How to Join the Rebellion
Find It: Follow the stenciled rats from the subway to a door marked “SPRAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.”
Donation: 5–20 (sliding scale) funds their “Art Not Rent” mission.
Events: Full moon “Riot Brunch” mixes mimosa towers with live body painting.
Pro Tips from a Bushwick Rebel
Wear White: You’ll leave with a free “souvenir” T-shirt designed on-site.
Hidden Exhibit: Ask for the “Capitalism Toilet”—a functioning loo inside a golden cage.
Safety First: Avoid heels—the floor’s 50% glitter, 50% broken glass.
Why Bushwick Collective Matters
It’s art without gatekeepers—chaotic, urgent, and gloriously messy.
