Come Celebrate Community, Art, and Climate Action with Us!

Join Make Justice Normal and Street Works for a joyful street arts and climate action festival in Jackson Heights! We’re bringing together artists, neighbors, and changemakers to co-create art, share stories, and learn about how we can care for our planet and each other. Expect a day of hands-on art-making, creative collaboration with local artists, and conversations about the climate justice issues shaping our city. You’ll also get connected to inspiring folks working year-round to make NYC a more climate-forward, just place to live. Everyone’s welcome—bring family, friends, your curiosity, and your creativity. Check out pictures from 2024!

🎨✨ Bonus!
This year, we’re also hosting a career fair—in the middle of the arts festival—for anyone (youth and adults!) curious about what it means to work for climate and environmental justice. Whether you're just starting out or looking for a new path, this is for you. RSVP to stay in the loop on the schedule, activities, and more!

About Us:
We're a small, volunteer-powered collective—just a bunch of people who care, working evenings and with small stipends to our projects to life. If you believe in what we’re doing and you're able to support, please consider donating. Your help covers supplies and makes future street actions possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Why Street Works, Why Now?
Street Works are outdoor galleries for art that invites conversation, action, and joy—created by and for artists committed to justice. In a moment when our democracy feels fragile and our voices matter more than ever, we believe in making public space a place to connect, imagine, and take collective action. These projects go beyond "interactive art"—they’re about shared power, mutual learning, and co-creating a joyful civic life.

When: September 21 (Sept 27 rain date)
