New York City's coastal location makes it particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels and more powerful storm events that will result from unabated warming. In combination, these factors could result in the periodic flooding of coastal parts of our city later on in this century. Permanent inundation could result with the collapse of either the Greenland or Antarctic ice shelves, which would lead to a 10 to 20 foot rise in sea level. Such a rise would greatly reconfigure the map of our city, sinking parts of Brooklyn, including Glasslands Gallery, located on Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, UNDER WATER. While this may be several generations off, action to avoid such an outcome must begin now.

The proceeds made at the door will go to Solar One (www.solar1.org), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to increasing energy and environmental awareness and inspiring action through public education and cultural programming, in direct support of the SEA OF PEOPLE (www.seaofpeople.org) project.

Sea Of People combines the dynamics of a mass rally with the expressive power of an interactive human installation. Following a 12 noon rally in Batter Park on Saturday, April 14, thousands of participants, DRESSED IN BLUE, will stretch north in two columns along the projected eastern and western 10-foot waterlines that may one day redefine lower Manhattan under the ten-foot sea level rise scenario.
