Graffiti & Groundwork: A Street Art Journey Through Mott Haven

Discover the soul of the South Bronx in this up-close and personal street art experience designed for small groups looking to connect, create, and be inspired. Centered in the heart of Mott Haven, this guided walking tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of NYC’s most culturally rich and visually striking neighborhoods—home to some of the city’s most powerful graffiti and mural work.

Led by authentic Bronx-based artists, this interactive tour dives deep into the history, techniques, and stories behind the art that colors the streets—from massive, socially-charged murals to hidden tags with raw personal meaning. With plenty of time for conversation, reflection, and photos, the experience feels more like a creative dialogue than a traditional tour.

After exploring the local landscape, your group will head to a nearby creative space or open-air setting for a hands-on graffiti workshop. Learn the basics of tagging, lettering, and spray techniques in a relaxed, supportive environment. Under the guidance of seasoned street artists, each participant will create a personalized graffiti canvas to take home—a bold reminder of a day rooted in expression, connection, and creativity.

Whether you're a team of creatives, a group of friends, or professionals looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, this intimate tour offers the perfect balance of culture, artistry, and collaboration.
