Web: https://lmcc.net/A day of activities at LMCC’s Arts Center with Open Studios, a family-friendly art workshop, and a climate panel with artists and academics.
Explore the multidisciplinary practices — painting, sculpture, video, and more — of the 2026 Arts Center Residents at our July Open Studios. This open house event is free, informal, and includes artistic activations in studios and rehearsal spaces throughout the day.
From 1-3 pm, take part in Recycled Runway, a free, family-friendly art-making workshop with Sari Nordman. Create a colorful, one-of-a-kind wearable accessory from recycled plastic that celebrates your individual NYC style! Central to her practice, Nordman addresses eco-anxiety through environmental art projects that foster social engagement and utilize recycled plastic. The workshop will be ongoing, so visitors are welcome to participate for as long as they would like. Reservations encouraged for headcount and supplies.
At 3:15 pm, join LMCC Artistic Director, Moe Yousuf, artist Leslie Wayne, and academics from Stony Brook University for a City of Water Day panel as they discuss issues at the intersection of art-making, climate change, and the environment. Reservations encouraged.
Leslie Wayne documents rising sea levels through aerial landscape paintings of vulnerable US shorelines and melting icebergs in the Arctic Circle. In these works and additional multimedia pieces, Wayne captures the beauty of our natural environment and renders with graphic clarity one of our greatest existential threats.
New York City’s first Tempestry Collection features sixteen hand-knitted panels or “tempestries,” each depicting a full year of the city’s daily temperature data rendered into various colors.
Time: 12:00 pm EDT
