All City, the international street art and graffiti app, is partnering up with Factory Fresh gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn to open up 200 feet of wall and turn it over to Brooklyn street artists. Chris Stain, Gaia, Skewville, Imminent Disaster and several guests artists will be tackling the project. Tek33 and Dscreet of London's Burning Candy crew will also be in town painting and premiering their film Dots.


Factory Fresh's Bigger Picture for Vandervoort Place:
The All City Block Party is the first of many events to come as Factory Fresh aims to establish a community park on an underused and garbage-strewn street in Bushwick. Our hopes for the park itself will be simple, created by blocking off Vandervoort Place, using the existing walls for murals, and installing sculptures on the open street. The artwork placed in the Bushwick Art Park will rotate on a seasonal basis. At the ends of Vandervoort Place permanent storage units will be built and the structures can double as information booths during events.
The second aspect of the project includes inviting other street artists and local businesses to participate in the park transformation. By cultivating a spirit of community, collabortion, and cooperation between the long-time residents and new creative class, the Bushwick Art Park has the potential to become a hub for renewal across the entire neighborhood.
