LEGAL GRAFFITI IN NEW YORK CITY

"5 Pointz is a free public outdoor art exhibit that spans a full city block in Long Island City, Queens. It is a commercial factory building that is almost entirely covered by Aerosol Art, more commonly known as graffiti.

5 Pointz is an organized outdoor gallery which is curated by Meres One. The walls painted on the building are all done with a permit after a review of the artists work and proper placement by Meres. The placement is decided on by the quality of the work, the time the artist is willing to spend on it will also determine the amount of time it will last. All murals are eventually gone over due to an influx of artists from all over the world, including the originators of this sub-culture and some of the most famous and talented to do it throughout the decades."
