A police precinct is an interesting place for a street art project. Is it a trap? Should we be suspicious? Anyway, Brooklyn’s 83rd Precinct teamed up with Spread Art NYC to produce a community wall featuring portraits of famous Bushwick natives. Four artists have contributed. Maybe we’ll see more in the future.
