Street artists at work on a former industrial building in Bushwick, illustrating the neighborhood’s reputation as a street art hub — the subject of a recent Reuters Connect feature.

Reuters Connect, the photo and media wire that international newsrooms buy their images from, is telling editors around the world that Bushwick has become a hub for street art. The evidence, according to the Reuters Connect listing, is a photo of a graffiti mural painted across the outer brick walls of the neighborhood’s former factory buildings and warehouses.

The image is dated June 9, 2026, and filed from New York. Its caption describes exactly what anyone who has walked down a side street off the Morgan or Jefferson L stops already knows: the old industrial shells here are covered in murals.

Reuters Connect is a stock photo service, not a feature story. The item is one photograph. No reporting, no interviews, no artist name.

The listing picks one canvas: the brick exteriors of factories and warehouses that made Bushwick an industrial district and now anchor its murals. Not galleries or new development.
