Mall-terations: a temporary art installation on the Allen St Pedestrian Malls

This summer HSC is creating a temporary art installation out on the Allen Street Pedestrian Malls with our partnering artists; Carolina Cisneros, Mateo Pinto, Marcelo Ertorteguy, and Sara Valente. Together with our high school interns we've been painting the installation on three of the malls between Delancey and Houston Streets. There will be way-finding maps and historical information all about the rich and diverse history of the Lower East Side. In August we will be building playful benches inviting people to sit and enjoy the malls. This project is another step in the transformation of the malls into a linear park through the LES!
