Coney Island is already one of the most colorful corners of New York City, and it’s getting even more vibrant this summer with the first annual EARTHGIRTHY, an all-ages art and sustainability festival from Beautify Brooklyn, the folks who brought you Artmageddon.
RECOMMENDED: The best outdoor art in NYC this summer, including sculptures
Coming to Coney Island Brewery‘s beer garden at 1904 Surf Avenue from noon to 6pm on Sunday, July 9, the new festival will feature earth-friendly works of art, performances and products from more than 25 artists, alchemists and bands, billing itself as New York’s largest community-driven public art event.
Enjoy exhibitions and artworks from the likes of Gnarly Casual, Moody Flowers, Shayma Aziz, The Clumsy Potter and more, and get into the artistic mood yourself with Earth-themed art-making workshops, with subjects ranging from trash-to-treasure jewelry to stamp art, street chalk murals to create-your-own terrarium classes.
As for the live tunes, expect a set from South Jersey three-piece The Backyard Boys from noon to 1:30pm, followed by an “exotic fusion of world instruments, experimental percussion, and dance” by Speaking Vine and Andrea Ward until 3pm, and La Madrugaga closing things out until 6pm.
Grab free tickets at the Beautify Brooklyn website, or score an EARTHYGIRTHY poster along with admission for $10. Check out the full music, artist and workshop lineup below:
