The once-abandoned trailer on East First Street off First Avenue in Manhattan has been transformed once again. With assistance from the young members of Cre8tive YouTH*ink, a creative arts youth development organization, it currently showcases a vibrant mix of styles from over 20 artists who had participated in the Centre-Fuge Public Art Project‘s first five cycles. The following images were captured these past four days:
Iranian artists Icy and Sot at work
Beau, Icy and Sot and Samuel Ashford

Centre-Fuge Public Art Project founders and First Street residents Pebbles Russell and Jonathan Neville have announced that Cycle 7 submissions are due by 12/31. They may be sent to centrefuge@gmail.com. We are looking forward to another year of energetic public art on East 1st Street, dedicated to the memory of former East Village resident Mike Hamm.

This was a dope project for us. Thanks to the artists who made it happen. And, of course Pebbles and Jon, who really made it happen. Great coverage by Street art NYC
