Al Diaz, and a Year of the Rabbit mural and coloring book calendar by Zimad.” Artist Al Diaz’s career spans five decades. His friendship and collaboration with Jean Michel Basquiat on SAMO, and the iconic hip-hop record “Beat Bop” are noted in contemporary art history. His exclusive to City Point classes, How to Create Your Own Graffiti Alphabet, will include creative materials, and guidance peppered with highlights from his new exhibition and book City of Kings: A History of NYC Graffiti. Luis Zimad Lamboy known as Zimad brings over 40 years of his graffiti and street art to Downtown Brooklyn with a tribute to the Year of the Rabbit at the Flatbush Atrium of City Point. His brilliantly colored mural depicts two lucky rabbits surrounded by a field of flowers and vibrant cotton candy pink and blue clouds. It invites the viewer to celebrate the Chinese New Year, embrace good fortune and snap a selfie. A limited-edition Year of the Rabbit Coloring Book calendar by Zimad will be sold at the gallery.
