Ideas City Festival 2013: "After Hours 2: Murals on the Bowery" (slide show)
Ideas City Festival is over, but the Bowery murals are sticking around for the summer.
Fri May 10 2013
Last weekend, the New Museum's Ideas City Festival brought a myriad of events to the Lower East Side and surroundings, including video-art installations on Mulberry Street and a series of murals on the Bowery.
For the latter, 14 artists curated by the nonprofit Art Production Fund painted the roller shutters of Bowery storefronts. The works will be on view through September 29 (although they're only visible after the shops close, of course). If you want to check them out in the flesh, take a self-guided evening tour using the online map; at each mural, call 646-205-9229 and enter the number printed next to it to hear about the artwork.
