350 Art Help Needed in Brooklyn

Email from Sarah Camp of 350.org:

"350.org will coordinate 20 public art pieces in ecosystems and communities impacted by climate change—our sinking coastlines, endangered forests, melting glaciers, and polluted cities—that are massive enough to be seen from space. Each public art piece will be photographed by satellite. The images will be displayed across the Internet and on Google Earth, as well as distributed to mainstream media outlets around the world.

Here’s how you can help:

Near Prospect Park in Brooklyn, the artist Molly Dilworth will be creating a large painting atop a roof in NYC with a design imagining the new borders of New York Harbor after a +7 meter rise in sea-level—once completed, the roof will be photographed by satellite. The special paint will create a solar-reflective coating engineered to decrease solar heat absorbed by the building...

Molly needs your help to create this climate masterpiece! Volunteers are needed from Nov. 1-5 to assist in painting the roof. Painting will be going on between 9am-5pm each day, and you can sign up for a shift of anywhere from 2 to 8 hours on any of those days. No experience needed!

Please note: ...Volunteers should dress warmly and in work clothes.

...Please contact Molly at madilworth@yahoo.com and write “Volunteer” in the subject heading. Include which days/hours you’d like to help out, and she’ll follow up with further instructions and information about the building’s location.
