We previously posted about the upcoming Festival of Ideas for the New City, here in NYC, from May 4-8, 2011, but now there seems to be much more information. The Festival is a “major new collaborative intitiative in New York involving scores of Downtown organizations, from universities to arts institutions and community groups, working together to effect change… It will harness the power of the creative community to imagine the future city and explore the ideas destined to shape it. It will take place in multiple venues Downtown and is organized around three central programs: a conference of symposia; an innovative StreetFest along the Bowery; and over one hundred independent projects and public events.” A small sampling of events and projects are pictured above (click image to see larger.)

Visit the Festival site for complete information on the conference, projects and street festival as well as for tickets.
