James De La Vega is a New York City artist known primarily for his murals and the chalk drawings he creates on public surfaces such as sidewalks. His street murals can be found all over East Harlem, and his chalk drawings may show up anywhere in the city.
The Museum Mile Festival on Fifth Avenue – One day a year, for the past 29 years, nine of the country’s finest museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and all ones that call Fifth Avenue home, collectively open their doors for free to New Yorkers and visitors for a mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music-and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street. The highlight for a lot of street art and chalk art fans are the numerous chalk drawings by James De La Vega. Below are some of the drawings found this year.
Islandwoo Tips to make your Museum Mile experience a little better: Start at 105th Street and walk down to 82nd Street as you don’t want to wait until it gets dark to see De La Vega’s chalk art. End at the Metropolitan Museum’s Cantor Roof Garden for an amazing sunset!
