The original project occupied an industrial zone in Long Island City, directly across from the MoMA/PS1 museum and provided more than 50,000 sq. ft. of public space to showcase works of graffiti artists from around the globe. The new Phun Phactory will headquarter in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and will make available more than 500,000 sq. ft. of public space for artists of ALL mural mediums to showcase their artwork.
