CAR TAG/DOUBLE PARK EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Sadly, we have had to cancel Car Tag/Double Park event scheduled for today, October 6, 2024 due to an insurmountable mechanical situation with the car. We were hoping to have a proper sendoff for this noble vehicle, but it was not meant to be.

Sneak Peek of Car Tag/Double Park at Studio 41 in Long Island City on Sunday, October 6th, 2024.  

Yurt City is excited to be collaborating with writer Barbara Glasser and her unique car.  We are inviting people to drop by and help embellish and beautify this remarkable vehicle Sunday, October 6th from 2-3pm at Studio 41, located in the heart of Long Island City, Queens, NY at 27-15 41st Avenue.  We will be parked/double or otherwise somewhere in front of the exhibition space or nearby.
