More information on Earth Celebrations:

Earth Celebrations,  is a non-profit organization founded in 1991 dedicated to fostering ecological awareness through the arts. Earth Celebrations ecological arts projects and theatrical pageants, engage people in a community-building and art-making process, and provide a ceremonial and social action context for artists to work within, to raise awareness, and effect change on environmental issues in New York City.  For 15 years,  Earth Celebrations worked to preserve the community gardens on the Lower East Side and throughout New York City, through theatrical pageants and creative community organizing projects. Our creative community organizing directly led to the preservation of hundreds of community gardens, when Mayor Bloomberg transferred many gardens that would have been destroyed by development plans, to the New York City Parks Department to preserve them. With the success of preserving many community gardens, we decided to take this approach to community building through art to address other crucial issues such as climate change and its' effects on the river and shoreline in New York City. In 2009, Earth Celebrations launched the first Hudson River Pageant to restore the native species and habitats of the Hudson River and address climate change, now produced and enacted by local community participants and river organizations for the past four years, along the downtown section of the Hudson River estuary in New York City.
