Grand Finale_Yellow Arrow: The Secret New York

Yellow Arrow: The Secret New York is a public art project that
celebrates the extraordinary details of the city that often pass
unnoticed. Upon encountering a Yellow Arrow, the public participates by
calling 212.201.2005 from mobile phones to hear an audio message that
tells a secret story about the location where the arrow points.

This Saturday marks the Grand Finale with 20 Yellow Arrow sculptures
visible across Manhattan and Brooklyn from 12-8 pm, at places like:
Union Square, Chinatown, The Lower East Side, East Village, Lower
Manhattan, Williamsburg and DUMBO. This is is a fantastic opportunity
for people to experience some of the most compelling content of the
summer in one single day.

Over the summer the project has touched a lot of people in all 5
boroughs and there are some very fun stories about bringing it all
together. Creators of the project will be leading two behind-the-scenes
tours to share these anecdotes and insights. Tour 1_Lower Manhattan
meets at Battery Park at 12 pm and will visit 5 nearby Yellow Arrows.
Tour 2_East Village meets at corner of Ave. B and E. 7th St. at 6:00 pm
and will visit 6 Yellow Arrows, grab dinner in the area and head to the
after-party.

The day-long installation and tours will be followed by a celebration at
the Lotus Lounge (35 Clinton St at Stanton), with drink specials, video
projection and a sound installation on the street.
