Brooklyn Street Art Gallery Devoted to Graffiti Lettering

Morgan District Walls is an outdoor gallery for Brooklyn street art, and graffiti lettering takes center stage. Local artists curate its rotating murals, bringing an art form rooted in the city into public view, with local and international writers sharing the walls.

A professional collective runs the space as a community effort to preserve graffiti culture. It stands apart as one of the few public art sites in the city that focuses primarily on graffiti lettering, a craft that rewards close looking. Trace one letterform with your eyes, then find another writer handling it differently. The comparison between styles and techniques is the heart of the walk.

Head to 56 Thames St and give yourself time to study the work rather than treating each mural as a passing glance. The public gallery stays open 24 hours every day, leaving the timing entirely in your hands.
