We are celebrating the arrival of spring by turning the Information Kiosk into a giant pin cushion made of wisteria branches and silk flowers.

Pin Cushion was created by Patricia Gonzalez and Carlos Franqui of Floratorium and is made up of 50+ bales of curly willow, nine wisteria bales, and hundreds of faux hydrangeas, poppies, greenery, and butterflies. New Yorkers are encouraged to stop by and visit the exhibit through the summer.

The installation will last through the summer as the Garment District blooms again with the return of our tenants and businesses.
