Earth Celebrations' Ecological City: Cultural & Climate Solutions Action Project applies the arts to build community, diverse sector collaboration and action on climate solution and ecological sustainability initiatives throughout the community gardens, neighborhood and waterfront on the Lower East Side of New York City.
Through cultural strategies Ecological City reconnects people to each other and the natural world within their neighborhood and builds emotional connection, engagement and action on climate solutions, an urban sustainable ecosystem and the importance of local efforts to city and global climate challenges.
Gardeners, artists, residents, youth and over 50 community partner organizations collaborate through 5 months of creative engagement workshops developing visual art and performances exploring local sustainability sites and their climate solutions. Visual art and performance projects are presented in the culminating Ecological City: Procession for Climate Solutions on Saturday May 10, 2025 featuring visual art, giant puppets, costumes and with 21 sustainability site performances affirming a shared vision for a sustainable future.
