This is not surprising because in Europe, when we talk about American Street Art, the names that come up consistently are: the Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn<\/a><\/strong> or the Wynwood district in Miami<\/strong>. And yet if we find in the heart of New York mythical works of artists such as Conor Harrington, D*Face, Vhils, Anthony Lister, Shepard Fairey, Crash, Stik, Invader, Faith47, and so many others, it is largely thanks to THE LISA Project!<\/p>\n

The LISA Project; a 1901 law type association that transforms Little Italy since 2012<\/h3>\n

It all started in 2012, the founder, Wayne Randa a former actor’s agent aims to revitalize Little Italy, a neighborhood in full decline. He founds the Association and collaborates with that of the local merchants. The association provides the means to buy the paintings and he, for his part, finds artists who love this neighborhood and who are especially able to paint for free if they are provided with the paint.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, I started to see more and more their names attached to the artists’ signatures on magnificent murals in the heart of Manhattan and also next to works that are smaller in size but just as beautiful. So I decided to conduct my little investigation and very quickly realized that this Association had transformed the walls of Manhattan’s Lower East Side, including Little Itlay, Bowery and Chinatown. It is therefore with great pleasure that I share with you a few snippets of their history and a few spots that have become unmissable thanks to their contribution.<\/p>
