A Queens painter’s $1,500 Coney Island canvas sold fast—100 snapped pics. Free zine workshops—400 kids inked comics. NYC’s indie art—Brooklyn’s raw at 77°F.
Artist Rico Vega, 35, debuted neon graffiti—150 photos taken. A live 50-foot bodega mural at 3 p.m.—500 watched; paint wafted. Local DJs spun techno—300 danced at Wyckoff Avenue. New reusable cups cut waste—eco-chic ruled. Bushwick’s edge—NYC’s creative core.
It’s not perfect—venues jammed; lines hit 20 minutes. Some art priced high—$5K tags shocked. Still, 70 artists, 8K eyes—fair’s a hit. Post-event, Morgan Avenue bars buzzed—art talk flowed. Runs till Sunday—NYC’s bold.
