The Color Factory Exhibit Will Bring Unique Experiences To NYC

Color Factory opened in San Francisco last year, and now it’s headed to New York with a unique new exhibit centered around—you guessed it!—color. The experience will set up shop starting August 20 (for a limited run) at 251 Spring Street in SoHo, taking up over 20,000 square feet.

All of the installations within Color Factory were developed in collaboration with artists, designers, and creatives, including Lakwena Maciver, Alex Kalman / Mmuseumm, Molly Young, Kendra Dandy, Christine Wong Yap, Randi Brookman Harris, Leah Rosenberg and Erin Jang, as well as many others.

The 16 installations include an ombre floating balloon room, custom ice cream and colorful treats, a color and connection activity, a dance floor, a ball room, and far more interactive and participatory activities. All guests also receive a “secret” neighborhood map that highlights 20-plus hidden experiences scattered across Downtown Manhattan.

“We are so fortunate to work with such a talented group of artists and designers to bring Color Factory to a creative, diverse and vibrant city like New York,” Jordan Ferney, founder of Color Factory, said. “We hope the palettes and experiences offered inside Color Factory will challenge perceptions, awaken senses, invite joy and remind visitors to revel in the colorful moments of everyday life.”

Tickets are on sale now and cost $38/person, with children under 2 free. The museum is open Thursday–Tuesday from 10am–11pm.

Even before the exhibit opens, you can go to Manhattan Color Walk, which is a free, public installation located inside (and with participation by) Cooper Hewitt’s Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden. The Manhattan Color Walk is open through July.

The Language Workshop For Children

After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over&nbsp;time, The&nbsp;Language Workshop for&nbsp;Children, founded&nbsp;in1973, has decided&nbsp;to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals.&nbsp;Our skilled educators&nbsp;will&nbsp;focus their attention exclusively on the&nbsp;unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child.&nbsp;This allows a&nbsp;bond&nbsp;to develop&nbsp;between teacher and student, which&nbsp;has been&nbsp;shown to&nbsp;drastically improve retention.&nbsp; OUR METHOD&nbsp; Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of&nbsp;experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your&nbsp;child&rsquo;s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest. &nbsp;&nbsp; While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut&nbsp;Technique which has been featured&nbsp;in the New York&nbsp;Times, the&nbsp;Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected&nbsp;publications.&nbsp;&nbsp; Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language.  THE PROCESS&nbsp; First, students have a short meeting with our Director&nbsp;Francois&nbsp;Thibaut, in&nbsp;English, with&nbsp;their parent(s)&nbsp;present.&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut&nbsp;will determine&nbsp;the best course of study, including&nbsp;class length and&nbsp;frequency, the&nbsp;right&nbsp;teacher, lesson&nbsp;format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning&nbsp;begins!&nbsp;Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child&rsquo;s learning to assure they are getting the most&nbsp;of&nbsp;their&nbsp;classes.&nbsp; OTHER OFFERINGS&nbsp; We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP &amp; CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad,&nbsp;cultural changes when moving abroad,&nbsp;and much more!&nbsp; &nbsp;
