Tats Cru
940 Garrison Avenue
Bronx, NY 10474
718-542-6146

The Tats Cru is a group of Bronx-based professional muralists whose work in aerosol has changed the perception of graffiti as an art. Sixteen years ago, these Bronx teenagers began their artistic careers by creating subway graffiti. What began as a juvenile territorial recognition tactic has brought the TATS CRU to the forefront of an evolved style and culture of wall murals. TATS CRU has been commissioned by many community-based patrons to produce advertisements for neighborhood businesses and institutions. In addition, they teach mural classes at The Point Community Development Corp. TATS CRU are also major proponents of New York style memorial murals, created in remembrance of victims of untimely and often violent deaths.



Works by Tats Cru:
