**We're excited to announce the following special appearances:**

Artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles's iconic artwork *The Social Mirror* (1983) will be at the Reliquary this day only. According to Ukeles, this project invites citizens "...to see themselves linked with the handlers of their waste.”


Representatives from the Bureau of Recycling and Sustainability of the NYC Dept. of Sanitation will join us to promote their curbside [Organics Collection program](http://nyc.gov/organics). Reps will distribute free 1-lb bags of compost to guests. Get one while supplies last!
