5Pointz

5Pointz was a famous outdoor graffiti art space in Brooklyn, New York, established in 1993. It served as a large, open-air canvas for urban artists to showcase their work legally before being shut down in 2014. The site became renowned for vibrant murals and street art, attracting artists and visitors worldwide. Its destruction for development sparked debates about the value of street art versus property investment. 5Pointz symbolized both the artistic expression of graffiti culture and ongoing tensions between urban art communities and commercial development.
