Last month, we announced that we’d be granting 30 organizations around the world $1,000 each to repurpose parking spaces into parklets and other people-oriented uses to celebrate Park(ing) Day. We’re excited to announce that we will also have our own Park(ing) Day installations on September 17.

Spin will be taking over parking spots in three cities: Atlanta, Seattle, and Barcelona. Take a look below for more information! And please come out to join us or our grantees if you’re in any of the cities represented.

Park(ing) Day Atlanta (UPDATE)

 What is Park(ing) Day?

Park(ing) Day is a global, public, participatory art project launched by Rebar in 2005. It is a day where people across the world temporarily repurpose street parking spaces and convert them to tiny parks and places for art, play, and activism. We’re excited to partner with Park(ing) Day and Better Block Foundation this year to support these organizations create their own Park(ing) Day installations.
