Originally purchased from the Lenape people in the 17th century, the area of present-day Bushwick has undergone tremendous industrial changes. Early settlers originally used the land for agriculture; however, the Industrial Revolution resulted in a rise in factories, warehouses, and breweries in the late 19th to 20th centuries. As the changes in demographics reflect each period in the history of Bushwick, the area is now a community of mostly immigrants. The warehouses and factories remaining from the Industrial Age have begun to spark the creativity of various artists, both local and international. The Bushwick Art Collective, an outdoor art gallery staged in the heart of the large-scale walled buildings in the area, exhibits graffiti art open to anyone making a trip through the neighborhood. We want people to leave with an understanding of the historical and cultural significance of art in the unification of communities. As demonstrated by the Bushwick Art Collective and the piece of art we selected from it, the people of Bushwick, while coming from different cultures, can come together and create and appreciate art.
