The Urban Forest Project

Last fall, 185 banners by artists, designers and illustrators from around the world sprouted from the concrete jungle of Times Square. The Urban Forest Project, sponsored by AIGA NY and the Times Square Alliance, was a way to bring the spirit of sustainability to the heart of New York City.

Fast forward six months, and those banners have been recycled into sleek new tote bags currently for sale. Pick up a two-of-a-kind creation (only two bags will be made from each banner) or browse the banners to find your favorite message. Profits from sales will benefit Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships and AIGA/NY Mentoring Program.
