Curated and Produced Shows
Adventures in the Arts
From the summer of 2006 and throughout the summer of 2007 the Adventures in the Arts series brought artists of all disciplines into community gardens around New York City. By spotlighting artists in these spaces, the program performed the dual roll of highlighting garden spaces and showcasing artist and their work. This program was created, produced organized and curated by Glenis Paul, with the support and resources from GreenThumb, which is the largest community gardening program in the United States.

The wide ranging spectrum of artists demanded flexibility in the programming and was the most challenging aspect of producing the series. The results were consistent, however, and the series proved to be a very effective way to bring the gardens center stage, while supporting local artists and building strong bridges within communities.
