One of NYC’s most spirited public art events celebrates its fourth year tomorrow with a huge block party at Welling Court in Astoria, Queens. For the past week, dozens of artists have been busy at work for this dynamic project, curated by Ad Hoc Art. Following is a glimpse of what we saw earlier this week:

Long the home to immigrants and working-class folks, Manhattan’s Lower East Side, south of Houston Street, is continually revising itself. Yet, despite the proliferation of modern glass-walled high-risers and seemingly wealthy newcomers, its public spaces and storefronts still remain a canvas for both legal and illegal street art. Here’s a sampling of what we spotted yesterday:
