Sound and vision to celebrate the solstice

Garden activist Claire Costello joined in the face-painting fun at the Siempre Verde Garden, at Attorney and Stanton Sts., on the first day of summer. There was also music and a barbecue at the event, part of the Seventh Annual Make Music New York, a celebration of the year’s longest day, held in countless parks and gardens and on sidewalks and streets in 500 cities worldwide. Performers at Siempre Verde included Tracy Thorne, Winston Smith, Marc Kamhi and Everest Cale.
