The new pieces were unveiled as part of The Bushwick Collective’s annual block party.

The Bleeker and Bowery location has previously featured murals honoring Debbie Harry and Joey Ramone.

The annual block party also features street artists painting live, food and merchant vendors, giveaways and more happening over three blocks in Bushwick.

Tributes are still coming in to the late MF DOOM, including a big new mural at Toronto street art supply store Toronto Collective in the city’s Chinatown district.

Plus, watch Saint Vitus Bar’s streaming tribute to the late Power Trip vocalist.

Murals paying tribute to George Floyd have begun to spring up across the country, including in his hometown of Minneapolis, and now in NYC, too.

The free event includes hand-selected local food trucks, a merchant market of vendors selling original art, prints, jewelry, clothing and more, face and body painting, meet and greets with ”old school graffiti legends,” live-painting from over 40 street and graffiti artists, and, of course, live music.

“Now, stores open and shut, tenants come and go. It has become a block for the rich. All that color has faded into money green” — Omni NYC (who painted the mural).

The Screaming Eagle of Soul, Charles Bradley, sadly passed away following a battle with cancer in late September. Now he’s being honored in the city he called home for the past 20 years with a new mural.

It is happening again starting May 21.
