Going Green - Tribeca Family Festival Street Fair and NY Artist Alex Beard with On Site Energy Co

May 10, 2008 ( PowerHomeBiz ) -California --- In a behemoth effort to show their commitment to "going green" this year, the Tribeca Film Festival’s Family Street Fair challenged nature artist, writer and traveler, Alex Beard. The challenge was to create an arts and crafts activity that would incorporate one of the events' diesel generator in a “Green” display. Furthermore, the event had to be interactive with the children, as well! Alex’s studio set up a painting station where the children could paint their favorite animals on paper plates.

The plates were hung from strings under a tent surrounding Alex and the generator he was transforming into an elephant. The master plan called for the generator to be camouflaged as an elephant, complete with a mighty trunk and tusks.
