Street Art New York Benefit Masks
Honorary New Yorker, Jon Burgerman, and Jim Avignon have three collaborative pieces in “Street Art New York, ” a silent auction benefit for Free Arts NYC. The event takes place Saturday, April 24th from 7-11PM with the auction beginning promptly at 7PM EST.
To celebrate the release of the new book “Street Art New York” and to benefit the programs of Free Arts NYC, original artworks by a stellar array of today’s Street Artists from New York and beyond will be featured in a silent auction to take place on April 24, 2010, from 7 pm to 9:30 pm at Factory Fresh Gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The Benefit, to be held at one of New York’s epicenters for the thriving new Street Art scene, Factory Fresh Gallery, will feature an incredibly strong selection of today’s Street Artists joining together for one night as a community to benefit NYC kids from disadvantaged backgrounds as the numbers of poor and low-income children in New York continues to rise. Representing a renaissance in modern urban art at the dawn of a new decade, this artists will very likely be the largest collection of 2010’s street artists in one location.

Street Art New York, the book, by Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo, with a foreword by Carolina A. Miranda, published in April 2010 by Prestel Publishing (Random House). The authors of the successful Brooklyn Street Art book (and founders of BrooklynStreetArt.com) expand their scope and take readers on a fast-paced run through the streets of New York, along the waterways, on the rooftops, and up the walls of today’s ever-morphing vibrant Street Art scene as only NYC can tell it.

Brooklyn Street Art
Last week, Jon got his doodle on in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, New York. Photo by Jaime Rojo on the Brooklyn Street Art blog. Bonus points for the caption: “It’s a whole new Doodle by British Sensation Jon Burgerman!” If I parked my car near this wall, my Infectious sticker-scheme (in progress) would blend nicely…
Wheatpasted Posters Around New York
I got a tip about these Jon Burgerman/Jim Avignon posters showing up around New York. Move over Better Business Bureau, there’s a new BBB in town. Details tomorrow!
Street Crush
Street Crush was a Brooklyn street art show and party put on by BrooklynStreetArt and AlphaBeta in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in February of 2009. The theme of the salon-style show was “Love, Sex and the Street.” The opening party featured live collaborations. Jon’s piece can be seen above.
Street Art
Jon seems like such a law-abiding citizen and all, but here’s proof of his (or a fan’s?) renegade side (as seen in Edengrove Holloway).
Panos 2004 Fake Street Signs
In 2004, Jon joined artists from around the world in a collaborative project that takes turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls by way of fake street signs.
The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think. This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale.
The innovative project was put on by UNCHI and KANARDO.
