Mission Statement

IDEAS CITY was founded by the New Museum as a major collaboration between dozens of downtown arts, education, and community organizations to harness the power of the creative community and imagine our collective future. This ambitious initiative is built upon the core belief that arts and culture constitute a driving force behind the vitality of urban centers worldwide.

Description

The 2013 iteration of IDEAS CITY, the biennial festival created to explore the future city and to effect change, will take place in downtown New York from May 1-4, 2013. The Festival will include an innovative, participatory, outdoor StreetFest along the Bowery on Saturday, May 4. 100+ local grassroots organizations and small businesses present model products and practices in a unique outdoor environment. Visitors can expect cooking demos with urban farmers, rooftop gardening classes, oral history projects, tours, and affordable, locally grown food options.

IDEAS CITY festival is such an entertaining event for everyone.The work is pretty easy to accomplish plus you interact with people from many different parts of the world. Many activities are offered and after you're done volunteering you can just go and take a look. Fun way to kick out some community service hours!
