Many artists of the mid-20th century flocked to the East Village because space for working and living was relatively cheap. The East 10th Street Galleries, a cooperative of artist-run galleries, made the East Village a hot spot for creative works. In the late 1960s, 70s, and 80s, which were in some ways hard times for the East Village, murals began to appear all over the community, beautifying the neighborhood and keeping it connected to its artistic roots.
