Spring is a busy time for schools across New York City, with events such as plays from New York University's Tisch program and fashion exhibitions. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition explores the influence of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion through couture, art and film. Earth Day is celebrated annually with community cleanups, teach-ins, tree plantings, and other activities in communities across the country. New York Restoration Project distributes free tree saplings to residents across all five boroughs. Additionally, a hands-on gardening workshop will be held at 133rd St. and the Metropolitan Museum's Fashioning the Body: An Intimate History of the Silhouette exhibition.
