5 Pointz

You are approaching the site that once stood as the world epicenter of aerosol art. For over two decades, this nondescript block of industrial warehouses in Long Island City was transformed into a towering canvas known as 5 Pointz. Its name served as a tribute to the five boroughs of New York City, uniting them through the creative work of artists who traveled here from across the globe. You might not see the sprawling murals today, but this location remains a landmark in the history of public art and urban expression.
