came out of the train the other day to find a ruckus!
from the new york times article:
Called 5 Pointz, the sprawl of art studios filling a block of Jackson Avenue, alongside the raised tracks of the No. 7 subway line, have been a magnet for tourists, passers-by and fashion shoots, as well as scores of street muralists.
Yet within its colorful walls, there exists another world, one filled with roughly 200 artists who sculpt, paint and fashion their wares in studio spaces rented at below-market rates. Called Crane Street Studios, and named for an abutting street (5 Pointz only refers to the outer walls), they were thrust into a minor spotlight this month after one of their artists, Nicole Gagne, a 37-year-old jeweler, was seriously injured when part of a concrete fire escape she was descending collapsed.
