The Horticultural Society
of New York
March 8-23, 2012
Recently three hundred K-6 students from Harlem and East Harlem in New York City used shopping totes and fabric paint to represent their relationship with fruit and vegetables. One hundred of these totes will be on display at the Gallery at The Hort during From Apples to Zucchini: The Fifth Annual Sprout Exhibition of NYC Children’s Art hosted by the Apple Seed program at the Horticultural Society of New York (HSNY). Through the Apple Seed program The Hort connects students with gardens and green markets to engage students in hands-on activities integrating science education and artistic expression across the school curriculum.
After the exhibition, students will take their totes home so their families can use them to buy fruit, vegetables and other groceries from local merchants.
An opening reception will be held this week on Thursday, March 8, from 4-6 PM.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 12-6 PM.
The exhibition gallery is located at the HSNY office in Midtown Manhattan. Visitor information and directions can be viewed here.
