“The GREEN” will transform the approximately 14,000 square feet of open, concrete expanse surrounding the Revson Fountain into an environment that invites New Yorkers to relax and enjoy the open, park-like space.
“When invited to consider how the physical space of Josie Robertson Plaza could be re-envisioned to be a more inclusive and inviting environment, I immediately thought that by changing the ground surface from hard paving stones with no seating to a material like grass, suddenly anyone would be able to sit anywhere,” Mimi Lien said in a statement.
Books will be available for borrowing provided by the nearby New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Additionally, a small snack bar is planned for the northeast corner and pop-up performances will be offered throughout the summer and fall. These performances will include music, dance, and a series of family performances and workshops.
