EARTH: Fragile Planet at the Society of Illustrators

In the Upper East Side there is a little vintage 1875 carriage house with a red door that has quite a collection. The Society of Illustrators was founded in February 1901 as a place to "promote the art of illustration and to hold exhibitions from time to time.” Now a century later they are doing that and more. With this new exhibit, open till July 31st, the society is putting the focus on the Earth and how delicate it is. This is displayed vary well in five categories one being the Earth itself. Then Air, Water, Wildlife and best of all Energy. This was a nicely put together with multi-media works from over 120 artist. A stone throw away from Park Ave on 63rd street you will find this red door and cool stuff behind it.
