On Tuesday, April 8th, Fourth Arts Block (FABnyc) and the Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design (CUISD) will host an opening for The Model Block: an exhibit.
The Model Block represents the culmination of a multi-year project which focused on the East 4th Street Cultural District (between 2nd Ave & Bowery) as a testing ground for new and innovative solutions to the complexities of urban sustainability at the block scale. The exhibit highlights environmental actions taken on a typical block, organized around the themes of community, energy, waste, and water. It will also feature art projects by Amanda Browder, Parsons Fine Arts Faculty Miggy Buck, Karina Mangu-Ward, and Shawn Shafner. There will be an artist panel discussion and workshops with artists on Saturday, April 12th from 12:30-3PM.
