IRUBNY celebrates it's third year at the Museum Mile event on 5th Ave. Mayor Bloomberg proclaimed June 9 Museum Mile Day...and IRUBNY was there to give the neighborhood a good rub. With crayons in hand, crowds created textural impressions of the immediate area, then proudly exhibited them on our 6' tower in front of the Museum. We had an amazing turnout this year and collected over 265 rubbings.
Heard on the street---
“I love this project…makes me feel connect to the city”.
“IRUBNY is clever and anyone can relate to this simple activity”.
“It’s great to do something that is just for the fun of it”.
“If you ask me, I think we need to have more events like this that bring people together.”
“New York is a big city but people still want to feel like a community.”
