This New York City-based museum is taking graffiti off the streets and putting it above the streets as part of a street art billboard project. In collaboration with NYC's Street Museum of Art (SMoA), GOOD Cities is featuring the art of three different artists: Elle, Rubin and Skewville. The three have exhibited at SMoA previously and will now have their work shown in the GOOD Cities series.
The street art billboard project will consist of three different billboards that will showcase pictures of the artist's body of work and superimpose a love letter to the city over it. By showing the "quintessentially New York urba art experience through three very divergent lenses," the initiative will demonstrate how diverse the city is, as PSFK puts it.
