Perspective
NYC Summer Streets '25
- Date
- 02.07.2025
We’re thrilled to announce our participation in Summer Streets 2025, New York City’s iconic open-air festival where over 22 miles of city streets are transformed to celebrate city culture, community and creativity. For the first time ever, New Yorkers will be able to travel the length of Manhattan, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Inwood, on a car-free route.
Part of 'We Outside Summer', an initiative spearheaded by New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, Summer Streets features everything from cycling classes and skateboarding workshops, to public art and performance.
"We want New Yorkers to be out in the streets — walking, biking, dancing, and connecting with our neighbors"
DOT Commissioner, Ydanis Rodriquez
Our Vision
Collective Bloom invites visitors to hop on bicycles and work together to spin a giant kinetic flower, as well as add their mark to the main structure with chalk and pencil. Originally conceived for a previous client project, this idea found new life through our collaboration with Crozier Studio. Made from found objects, the piece is both playful and familiar - accessible in every sense, with hand-cycle stations for inclusive participation.
The NYC Department of Transportation loved our vision for its sustainability and joyful energy. Come and experience it for yourself in Manhattan on August 2, 9 and 16.
We’ll be sharing more soon—including how clients can join us.
