SUMMER AT SIXTH STREET WORKSHOPS
ARTS WORKSHOPSTaught by professional artists and experienced teaching artists, we will explore a diversity of mediums such as acrylic, textiles, ink, clay and watercolor. Past projects have included batik dye, tye-dye, pillow making, weaving, mixed-media, Suminagashi water ink prints, collograph and lino-cut printmaking.

URBAN SUSTAINABILITYOur urban sustainability curriculum is rooted in inquiry, exploration and practice. We believe that exposing youth to sustainable ideas and approaches at an early age can have a profound impact on how they operate within greater society later on in life. This year our youth program took on a big challenge, working to become the first zero waste after school in the Lower East Side!
|
FARMING + COOKINGDuring July and August, our students are the primary caretakers of the 5th Street Farm located on the Earth School's Rooftop. Students learn how to maintain an urban farm and harvest produce from the earth. In addition to our center's CSA program, we use fresh veggies and herbs that the kids harvest in our cooking workshops!
|
COMMUNITY ACTIVISMOur students are introduced to several key social and environmental justice issues that affect the local community. We creatively engage t h e m through kid-led, inquiry based projects with local businesses and organizations. The curriculum is centered around empowering young people to be change-makers in their communities.
