Join us for our 3rd annual street arts and climate action festival! If you’re interested in participating, please submit to the form here by June 26.
This September, we’re bringing a fashion competition to Street Works Earth to celebrate designers, artists, and neighbors creating outfits that show how care for people, communities, and the planet can be gorgeous, inventive, and stylish.
We’re inviting fashion designers at any level — self-taught, students, emerging, or established — to submit one original wearable outfit that demonstrates sustainability. Designers must be available in person in Queens, NYC, September 20-27 to present their work (exact day to be confirmed.)
CRECE + Street Works are building a directory of Queens artists interested in presenting work in CRECE's beautiful community space, scheduled to open in May 2026. Submit your art here!
Climate crisis, rising costs, and political instability are reshaping what work—and stability—look like. Join us the day after International Workers’ Day for a gathering that brings together people at different points in their career to share journeys reflecting on how we build livelihoods through turmoil, while also building a more just world.
