Museum Mile Festival on June 3rd


Taken from the official Museum Mile Festival website:

One day a year, for the past 29 years, nine of the country's finest museums, all ones that call Fifth Avenue home, collectively open their doors for free to New Yorkers and visitors for a mile-long block party and visual art celebration. This traffic-free, music- and art-filled celebration fills the street and sidewalks of Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street, the mile now officially designated as Museum Mile. Over 50,000 visitors attend the festival annually.

This year's 30th annual festival kicks off at Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum with an opening ceremony, at 5:45pm, on the steps of its landmark building on Fifth Avenue @ 91st Street.

Plus, follow the mile with street muralist De La Vega – grab a piece of chalk and make your mark!

I think the chalk-drawing is meant for children, but screw that - I fully intend to get my chalkin' on!

Tuesday, June 3rd from 6:00-9:00pm
Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th street

Hi, I sort of randomly stumbled on your site, but thought you might like the site www.artcards.cc -- it's a listing of all the art events in NYC. For some reason when I did a search on google, they thought your site was similar... anyway, maybe it will ad some art to see to your list!

Cheers
