Earlier this past Spring, I stumbled across a gallery of street art that seemingly popped up overnight. It occupied a boarded-over vacant lot that had previously been something of an eyesore. Suddenly, here was a place for local artists to display their work. It was titled it the “Guerrilla Gallery.”

As the spring ended and the summer progressed, artists continued to contribute more of their work. As a couple of these photos illustrate, this gallery was organized by the Harlem Art Collective.
