Brooklyn Street Art Sexy "Street Crush" Show

BrooklynStreetArt.com and AlphaBeta Art Space hosted a sexy show of brand new art by veteran and rookie street artists. Working around themes of "Love, Sex, and the Street", well-known street artists like Aiko and Jef Aerosol dig deep for fresh takes on gritty street ardor alongside relative whipper-snappers like Cake and NohJ Coley.

Brooklyn filmmaker collective "Cinema Set Free" produced this video about the celebration of the newly developing Street Art scene in New York and it's legion of fans. Thank you Antonio, Lawrence, Melissa, and Demitri of Cinema Set Free http://cinemasetfree.com/
