Work from 150 graffiti artists is on display at a new 100,000-square-foot graffiti and street art exhibition opening in Williamsburg on Friday.
Beyond The Streets, on view through August and curated by urban anthropologist Roger Gastman, highlights artists with roots in graffiti who transitioned from the streets to the studio — their creations evolving into highly disciplined work showcased in museums and galleries.
Stephen Powers, a Brooklyn-based artist who works under the name ESPO, said it’s fitting that the exhibit would return to Williamsburg, once considered the mecca for street art.
