Registration will open February 21st. 

Robert Bohn is a New Yorker and artist who draws inspiration from his city’s streets, literally. Utilizing discarded materials found on the sidewalks, Bohn recreates trash, transforming it into a work of art. This alone is unique, but the work does not stop there: upon completion of a piece, Bohn places the newly created art back into its native environment and allows New Yorkers to ignore or appreciate it as they may. His work is subtle and inventive, filled with Bohn’s hope to influence the way members of the community perceive their surroundings - no matter how mundane - and to inspire others to find innovative use in the city’s many available resources.

Besides his personal projects, Robert Bohn has taught art and animation courses at various institutions. His own work has been featured in multiple exhibitions and Bohn has received a number of rewards for his artistic achievements. The members of GreenspaceNYC are overjoyed to have Robert as a teacher in the upcoming pop-up class series. To find out more, take a look at Bohn’s personal tumblr (http://robertbohn.tumblr.com/); to meet the man behind the art, join us on January 27th, 2012.
