Shooters: A Street Art Photography Showcase

Street Art Photography Showcase

Curated by @OmarVictorious

Opening - August 24, 2019 - 4-9pm

@ Mikey Likes It Ice Cream - 199 Avenue A

Shooters, a celebration of the unique symbiotic relationships within the street art community, will bring artists and photographers together to celebrate the shared experiences their art creates.

Whether it’s a selfie, a staged yoga pose or a candid shot of someone walking by, each photographer brings a unique and personal perspective to the art they’re documenting. With the advent of social media and platforms like instagram, the community has grown exponentially.

Join us as we invite an international group of photographers from all walks of life and levels of experience to showcase their photos, connect with the artists whose works they’ve captured and the community that loves and supports the arts.
