For the past few months now, dozens of artists have been secretly installing the biggest street art exhibit of all time inside of 11 Spring Street. The outside of the epic five-story brick building has long been a destination for graffiti artists looking for a place to curate their work, but the inside has always been a mystery. The building looked abandoned, but candles burning in the windows every night proved otherwise.

Whoever was living in 11 Spring, they decided to put the building on the market a few years ago. Being in complete disrepair and warehouse-sized, it took a long time to sell, but 11 Spring was finally bought this year by a husband and wife. Luckily for the rest of New York City, the couple just happened to be art-lovers who appreciated the building’s graffiti. They got in touch with Wooster Collective, and together they came up with the project: A street art exhibit that covered the entire inside of 11 Spring. The opening party is today, Friday the 15th, and the show runs through Sunday the 17th. After that, the building will be cleaned thoroughly, and all the art will be destroyed.

Don’t be square.
