Kick off Climate Week NYC 2022 by making paper with the staff at Bowne & Co., Stationers outdoors on the cobblestones. Led by Rob Wilson, Art Director and Operations Manager, this free, family-friendly workshop will teach you how to create sustainable materials for your own future art project. Using scraps from Bowne & Co., we will recycle offcuts into new fully formed sheets of paper. Most papers are infinitely recyclable. This process uses a lot of household tools, and it is an activity you can use at home to reduce your own paper waste. No registration needed. Stop in and spend the afternoon learning with us.

South Street Seaport Museum welcomes back Waterfront Alliance, and the artists who previously participated in Art at the BlueLine in July 2022, for a panel conversation aboard tall ship Wavertree exploring the intersection between climate art and climate science. Among the topics we will explore are: How does art help translate scientific information to the general public and spur action? How can artists collaborate with scientists to support each other's work? What areas of current research would be fruitful for creative exploration? Artists Matthew López-Jensen, Mary Mattingly, Edrex Fontanilla, and Sarah Nelson Wright will be joined by science educator Kendra Krueger, and the panel will be moderated by Waterfront Alliance's CEO, Cortney Koenig Worrall. This event is free, and advanced registration is required.

Giving Shape to Your Voice

seaportmuseum.org/giving-shape
Close out Climate Week NYC 2022 with the South Street Seaport Museum by giving shape to your voice through print outdoors on the cobblestones in front of 211 Water Street on Saturday, September 24. Share the ways you have personally chosen to combat climate change by making a poster celebrating your climate-friendly decisions, no matter how big or how small! Bowne & Co. printers will use antique 19th and 20th century equipment from the Seaport Museum's working printing collection to create contemporary ephemera with climate change awareness messages. Prompts will be provided for visitors to add their own ideas on how to combat climate change. Participants will be invited to take their work home as a free memento of their visit, or to leave their work at Bowne & Co. to be hung in the storefront windows as a visible call to action for climate change awareness to the Seaport community. No registration needed. Stop in and spend the afternoon creating with us.
