Bronx’s Street Art Talk Tags in Mott Haven

Mott Haven sprayed last night with the Bronx’s Street Art Talk, painting NYC’s spring at a 138th Street loft. Artist Tariq Evans pitched murals as 150 gaped, a $10 ticket dive into cans. It’s borough ink—pure BX vibe, walls hot. A kid traced a tag; a pro snapped stencils. ‘Bronx arts—this is it,’ Evans says, shaking paint. The room turned gallery.

The talk’s fresh—March 31’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Evans, a Soundview painter; last night’s crowd hit max—slides popped. A latecomer nabbed a spot; Q&A buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—art ruled. #BronxStreetArt trended; Queens wants a can.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a resident, dodging sprays. Dust stuck—masks donned; vibe held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham tag, splitting cans. Still, 200 stayed—murals reigned. Mott Haven’s never tagged so bold.

Evans hints at a paint jam, maybe a wall if spring bites. ‘NYC’s canvas—this fills it,’ he says, packing aerosols. The talk’s a Bronx win—grit meets hue. It’s an art rush; catch the next. Bring a lens—tags call.
