Planning to enjoy a summer afternoon observing some art, but don\u2019t want to be hidden away from the sun inside a museum? Here\u2019s an idea: explore\u00a0some art outside. More specifically, spend your afternoon on the corner of St. Nicholas Ave and Troutman St in Brooklyn. Thanks\u00a0to a block party called the Bushwick Collective that occurs every year, this street corner has become a sort of\u00a0bedrock upon which street artists from NYC and beyond showcase their finest and most recent works of art.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On June 3rd, the\u00a06th annual Bushwick Collective Block Party<\/a> left some incredible street art behind in its wake, and believe us when we say we don\u2019t think this \u201cexhibit\u201d will be taken down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We even got some photos of the artists in action:<\/p>\n

The talent with which these artists project their visions onto such a vast amount of space is an awesome\u00a0sight to see. While the\u00a0colors on the walls are rich and fresh, the ideas are current, dealing with a large\u00a0amount of political and social commentary in\u00a0a\u00a0playful way\u00a0(as is signature to the nature of street art). Artists on this corner seem to be\u00a0gifted in the way they can speak their minds captivatingly using huge\u00a0paint rollers and hundreds of colored bricks.<\/p>\n

And, as an added bonus, these insane murals serve as perfect\u00a0backdrops to capture your latest\u00a0Instagram post. Now who can pass up an opportunity like that?<\/p>\n
