The Ephemeral Arts Project 2014
The Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) and New York Restoration Project (NYRP) present the 3rd Ephemeral Arts Project, a series of temporary art installations on display in June 2014. The project aims to create opportunities for artists from Northern Manhattan and beyond to engage with the varied landscapes and communities.
In conjunction with NoMAA’s Uptown Arts Stroll 2014, NYRP will host installations in Sherman Creek Park in Northern Manhattan (on Harlem River Drive, south of Dyckman Street). The opening will take place on Saturday 7 June 2014, coinciding with Hike the Heights; meet the artists from 10 to 10:45 a.m. The park is open sunrise to sundown, seven days a week.

An artistic depiction of wildlife in the park illustrates its role as not just social space but habitat, and highlights the role of nature within urbanism. - Scribble Art Workshop
