Today is the official public unveiling of the Little Italy street art destination along Mulberry Street. “The Art of Comedy,” an initiative sponsored by the New York Comedy Festival and
Vandalog, brought the
comical musings of well known graffiti artists to the neighborhood – Ron English,
Hanksy, and
Gilf. An “art crawl” had originally been planned for November 3, but was pushed to noon today because of
Hurricane Sandy. Meet outside
Caffe Roma at 385 Broome.
The ultimate goal of this partnership, according to the Little Italy Merchant Association, is for the corridor between Canal and Broome to become an outdoor gallery of sorts. This is essentially the inaugural exhibition.
