"In honor of their 50th anniversary, the city's largest free museum in Long Island City, Queens, invited the whole city to celebrate and more than 8,000 people showed up to dance, make art, check out the local food vendors, participate in family workshops, see the documentary Fly In Power and wander through the brand new group show that fills two floors, Greater New York."
"Lady Pink, a legend of the New York City graffiti scene, was on hand to guide registered participants as they made their marks on extensive walls. Pink, whose work adorns the outside of PS1, had a great time with her role."
"It's fun to see people exploring their artistic side and having a go at it. Spray paint is, get it done quick, instant gratification, and when people try it out they realize how easy it is and how much fun art can be."
