New Museum's Festival of Ideas for NYC- May 4-8

From Solar One:

Coming in May: The New Museum's Festival of Ideas for a New City

This spring, the New Museum is launching an experimental Conference and Streetfest called the Festival of Ideas for a New City, to be held on and around the Bowery on May 4-8, 2011. Hundreds of downtown organizations, including Solar One, will be participating and over 20,000 people are expected!

There are more exciting plans than I could possibly describe here, but you can check out the Festival website HERE. Solar One will be participating in a number of capacities: Creating garbage stations and graphics to help make the StreetFest on May 7 as sustainable as possible; presenting Volume III of our very popular NYC the Future Metropolis Series on Sunday May 8 from 5-7pm; running a solar-powered film tent, where we'll be screening short informational films about Solar One's programs; and, also on Sunday May 8, S1 Green Workforce Director Michael Johnson-Chase will be doing a presentation on the intersection of environmental and social justice as part of the Festival's Pecha Kucha marathon.

The StreetFest is free, while the Conference events are ticketed- again, you can get all the info at http://www.festivalofideasnyc.com/. We hope to see you all there!
