About Open Data Week in the East Village

Via the EVG inbox... from the East Village Community Coalition (EVCC)...
Join EVCC for this week-long festival of FREE community events in celebration of New York City's Open Data Law. From family-friendly live events on the Ave B Open Street, to fun and informative virtual events, there's something for everyone here!

Highlights coming up tomorrow (Saturday!) on Avenue B between Seventh Street and Eighth Street ...

1 p.m. and 4 p.m. 
Join artist Jen Ray and data designer Jason Forrest for an engaging and not-entirely-serious interactive data-art performance on the Ave B Open Street. You've never seen data presented like this!

1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Join artist Cindy Stockton Moore in Shadow Tag for Open Streets, a creative family-friendly experiment in chalk. Come play with data!
And on Sunday on Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street...
Engaging with the WhatsOpenEV.com Map
Built by BetaNYC & maintained by volunteers, the WhatsOpenEV.com map has everything you need to safely Shop Local. We created the map to assist our community and support local merchants during the COVID-19 shutdown. What started as a band-aid grew into a labor of love. 

Discover East Village businesses, help support your favorites, and add your contributions to the map. Find the latest hours, specials, fundraisers and more!
