The fall of 2018 saw the completion of a year-long process of cleaning out the 5000-square-foot vacant lot next to the Little Creative Class house. For the past decade, the lot had been used as a toxic dumping ground, left to collect several 40-foot trash containers and abandoned construction machinery, including leaky bulldozers, old trucks, and even a boat. With the help of the Long Island Rail Road and the NYC Department of Sanitation, we now have a clean lot and a lease to create a green space, garden activities, and art projects with our kids and industrial neighbors. We celebrated the rebirth of this natural space with a performance on October 20.
