TAR BEACHES

This green art project is a revealing look at places most will never see, from simple gardens to hot tubs, swimming pools, cabanas, elaborate follies, vegetable gardens, bee hives, living walls and even movie theaters. Not that unusual you say? Starting to yawn? Imagine all of these elements sprinkled across the rooftops of a city like Manhattan. For those lucky enough to own, rent or have access to the rooftops of New York City, the choices they are making for their outdoor living spaces have come a long way from the tar beaches of a few decades ago. And while once just a place to relax and enjoy the view away from the scurrying crowds below, today many are choosing to be part of a sustainable future as more 'green' meadows are gracing both private and public rooftops around the city.

If you have access to a rooftop or terrace space in the city, and would be interested in participating, please send us an email with details.

YOU CAN HELP MAKE THIS PROJECT HAPPEN! And you can do it without it costing you an extra penny! To see how, check out our affiliates below and on the Sponsors page.
