Pass galleries, such as Gregg Shienbaum Fine Art, where work by acclaimed artists such as Andy Warhol, and contemporary street artists like Shepard Fairey can be seen. See many of the street murals, including works by David Walker and Interesni Kazki. Learn about the artists behind these cultural masterpieces and their individual techniques. Chat with your guide about the changes in the area, from the metamorphosis of individual walls to the transformation of buildings and businesses.
Hear about the development of the area from its riot-scarred recent past to present-day gentrification. Ask questions about any and everything discussed, and get recommendations for further exploration, or on where to eat and drink in the area.
