Outside In is about the creative “outsiders” who are solving the challenges of urban life for themselves—ordinary citizens, artists, entrepreneurs, and NGOs who are getting things done, boldly reshaping our city and our daily lives. As we travel around New York City exploring unique projects from rooftop farms and food co-ops to repurposed cultural venues and makeshift gathering spaces, we’ll examine how these projects can inspire collaborative partnerships with design professionals, private industry, and the public sector to transform the city.

All festival events will take place rain or shine.
