About the event
Join Make Justice Normal for Street Work Earth, a street arts & climate action festival created by artists committed to fostering joyful, community-led action in public spaces. We'll spend the day experiencing and co-creating art alongside incredible artists and learning about concrete environmental & climate action on 34th Avenue's amazing Open Street in Jackson Heights, Queens. Participate in art collaboration, make new friends involved in the arts, learn about New York climate policies, and get connected to action groups working year-round to make New York City a climate-forward city. RSVP to save the date and stay updated on the agenda. People of all ages welcome!! We're a fiscally sponsored nonprofit collective: we're all still learning how to sustain our work and so grateful for your support. If can, make a donation to help us start planning for a future street action-- hopefully in 2025!? THANK YOU! Why Street Works, Why Now? Street Works are public-space galleries for participatory art, by and for artists dedicated to making justice normal. In a time in which democracy is at risk and collective civic participation is needed more than ever, we hope to support one home by and for these artists who go beyond interactive art to sharing power with audience in 2-way and 20-way conversation that enables the brilliance of passersby to collectively emerge. Over time and scale, we hope this is one way for democracy to become a personal and joyful experience.
