Bushwick’s warehouses turned gallery today for the NYC Art Fair. Over 7,000 browsed 60 artists—murals, sculptures, and VR installations packed 5 venues. A Queens painter’s 10-foot canvas of Coney Island—$2,000—sold in hours; X lit up. Free zine workshops drew 300—kids inked comics. NYC’s indie art—Brooklyn’s raw.
Artist Rico Vega, 34, debuted neon graffiti—100 photos snapped. A live mural at 3 p.m.—50-foot bodega scene—drew 500; paint fumes wafted. Local DJs spun techno—200 danced at Wyckoff Avenue. Sun hit 75°F—open lots buzzed. Bushwick’s edge—NYC’s creative core.
It’s not perfect—venues jammed; lines hit 15 minutes. Some art priced high—$5,000 tags shocked. Still, 60 artists, 7,000 eyes—fair’s a hit. Post-event, Morgan Avenue bars buzzed—art talk flowed. Runs till Sunday—NYC’s bold.
Vega’s 34—art star? DJs’ 20s—sound of now. Brooklyn shone; NYC created. Art Fair—Bushwick vibes.
