Let’s have fun together outside!
while supporting local farmers & vendors,
getting healthier by eating local seasonal produce,
caring for our environment by bringing compost
and contributing to our Zero Waste Market Project,
and learning from and sharing with each other.
We are thrilled to present a series of collective art projects at our market in August. All ages are welcome and no experiences needed.
Join us and let’s have fun together outside!

A Collective Art Workshop by Yasuyo Tananka

While learning about war, environmental destruction, and nature's resilience, we'll fold cranes using handmade origami paper printed with a world map; work together to create peace ornaments; and express our wishes for the future we desire.
Nature Bound: Create A Handmade Botanical Field Journal, 8/15 at 1 pm

Participants will use handmade paper and natural materials in a guided, collaborative experience that blends creativity with a deeper appreciation of the natural world. Open for All ages, family & eco friendly, All materials provided.
Re-animation Station with Elena Copell, 8/29 at 1 pm
Join us for a collaborative mural project exploring community resilience through the lens of animism, imagination reclamation, and surrealist practices of global south. Participants will be invited to draw, paint, or share a word or phrase that renews their spirit. All contributions will be presented as a collaborative art piece celebrating the James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center community and many webs of people devoted to supporting connectivity across NYC.
Calling all Vendors!
This will be a great year for us, we know it. Starting June 20 and going through October. Join our Garden Community
And here’s a look back at some of the other things we’ve done and will continue to do :)
We are truly excited to have celebrated Black History Month!
On March 1, we gathered, sang, shared poems, danced, enjoyed delicious food and celebrated together!
Ceramic Artists from Amalgamated Ceramics Studio and School of Visual Arts gifted beautiful hand crafted pottery bowls that were purchased for a donation. Jerome’s Soup Wagon “filled” the bowls with fresh, hot and homemade vegan soup.
We raised $400 that was donated to support the Friendly Fridge Network!
Programming during the Celebration included The Free Store, Performance by Members of MORE Opera Community Chorus, Open Mic, Musical Performances, Zumba Dance, and, as always, so much more!
We really do want to hear from you and help young people be activated around this issue!
Please join the curious herb walk and let’s have fun together while learning about the magic of plants growing in the neighborhood. No experience or skill is required. But curiosity and openness are welcome.
