InGardens celebration at First Park this weekend

Some weekend music (and dance) action at First Street Green Art Park... on First Street at East Houston and Second Avenue.

Jazz guitarist Bern Nix along with bassist François Grillot and drummer Reggie Sylvester start things off today at 2 p.m.

About the First Street Green Cultural Park

Now that the BMW Guggenheim Lab has moved on to confront comfort in Berlin, what's happening to the lot? Gothamist got the scoop yesterday from the volunteers at First Street Green:

The lot-turned-park will host dance, sculpture, painting, readings, music, performance, film, and annual competitions to build temporary canopies to house all of those things.

There's a kick-off party on Dec. 10 ... as Gothamist noted, First Street Green will unveil a "wishing wall" ... where you can suggest ideas for the space. (And preferably ones that don't involve liquor licenses ...)

Bobby Williams took the photos here yesterday... workers are putting in a new gate and what not.
