Self-Guided Graffiti and Street Art Tours of Boston- Mission Hill and Jamaica Plain

This tour focuses on murals visible from the street. You could do the whole thing in Street View. It takes in a couple of different Boston neighborhoods and focuses more on more traditional New York style graffiti. It begins at Roxbury Crossing T Station and ends in Hyde Square in Jamaica Plain. This is Part 2. Please see Part 1 for even more art.

If you find this tour fun or useful or just want to make sure this business is around when we can all get back to hanging out together and looking at art, consider buying a copy of my graffiti and street art photo collection, You Can’t Win or sending me a tip via PayPal using the button below.

HOPS,RELM,DANCE,TEAZE (RIP,) TCHUG

Getting here is easy. Whether or no you take a left or a right on Parker St. depends on where you’re starting this section of the tour. If you are doing both sections and you’re coming from the Tobin, you will cross the street and take a right on Parker St. If you’re starting at Roxbury Crossing then you will take a left. From there follow the street up the hill until you come to a convenience store called Figeuroa’s Market with a long-standing mural that wraps around both sides of the street. Featuring the Brooklyn based artist HOPS (who lived in Boston for a time,) Lynn legend RELM, DANCE, TEAZE (RIP) and TCHUG. Still running for 25+ years.
Mississippi’s

Turn around, head down Oscar st. and then turn right on Terrace St. To your right you will see an empty lot and then… a 20+ year old mural, featuring a number of big-time graffiti writers. The lineup is heavy. It includes KEM5, RATH, PROBLAK, DEME5, CLARK, and MARKA 27.
