East Village - bordering Greenwich Village is a neighborhood in New York considered to be one of the strongest contributors to American art and culture in the second half of the XXth century. The Now Gallery was founded in 1983 by Jacek Tylicki, a post conceptual land and environmental artist.

Fashion Moda in Bronx was a hub of the street art (graffiti), but in the early eighties the East Village became the main gallery quarter in the city. Club 57, Fun Gallery and The Now Gallery where those early places crowded with visual artists, art performers and poets introducing the underground art into the mainstream art world. At the height of the East Village " urban primitive" art scene there were over 200 galleries, many of which also served as performance spaces.

"Fueled by the inflated Reagan economy, drugs, sex, ambition, and idealism, for what now seems like one brief moment or a blip on the screen of art history, the East Village was the future of art.." from John Perreault's "Artopia Art Diary".
