PROMISE OF LIBERTY AT THE SEAPORT MUSEUM
The Promise of Liberty: Words That Shaped a Nation, will open on May 27 at the South Street Seaport Museum, bringing a landmark exhibition of rare and historical documents marking a defining moment ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. This is the first exhibition to span the fourth floor of the Seaport Museum’s A.A. Thomson & Co. building following the extensive renovation of the 1868 warehouse at 213 Water Street.

ANDREW EDLIN GALLERY MOVES TO TRIBECA
Andrew Edlin Gallery has taken a 4,300-square-foot space on the second floor of 392 Broadway just south of Canal. The new gallery offers two exhibition spaces, as well as larger office space, on-site storage and a private viewing room. Studio MDA collaborated with Edlin and his team on the design. Founded in 2001, Andrew Edlin Gallery champions the works of both emerging and seminal self-taught American artists, as well as European art brut masters. The first show at the gallery is titled In a Dark Time, The Eye Begins to See, and features a broad range of artists, including some who have never, or rarely shown in New York, who offer multiple ways of seeing through the current climate.

CREATIVITY DAYS AT PAC NYC
PAC NYC will host its youngest audiences for Creativity Days, a new series of eight family-friendly art-making classes for ages 6–11 held on select Saturdays from 11a to 1p from July 11 to January 2. Each session will be led by resident teaching artist Paloma Nicholas, a bilingual museum educator. Participants will work with a wide range of materials and techniques, including printmaking with flowers and natural pigments, sculpting with air-dry clay, building mobiles and kites, designing miniature worlds from found objects, and creating seasonal pieces like leaf lanterns and beaded suncatchers.

SOLAR ON THE ROOF OF PS/IS 276
The city has installed solar panels to the roof of PS/IS 276, the Battery Park City School not far from The Battery. Overall the city has invested more than $90 million in energy conservation projects in CB1, and completed more than 250 energy conservation projects in the district since 2014. These projects have reduced annual energy costs by over $11 million for the city and reduced annual greenhouse gas emissions by 26,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, the equivalent of removing nearly 6,000 cars from the road.
