“The Power of Togetherness” by Gillie and Marc in collaboration with Sesame Street

What happens when the world of endangered wildlife meets the wonderfully welcoming neighborhood of Sesame Street? A new public art display in East Midtown Manhattan answers that question through whimsical sculpture. In “The Power of Togetherness,” artists Gillie and Marc, bring their iconic characters, Rabbitwoman and Dogman, face-to-face with some of Sesame Street’s most beloved residents in an exhibition that reminds us that our differences are what make us stronger. Gillie and Marc created Rabbitwoman and Dogman to illustrate the possibilities that come from bringing different perspectives together in pursuit of a common goal. By sharing their celebrated bronze sculptures around the world, the artists have used their work to draw attention to meaningful causes, from protecting endangered wildlife to celebrating the power of human connection.

In this special collaboration, Rabbitwoman and Dogman sit alongside Big Bird, sharing a powerful message of unity and acceptance. Nearby, Elmo and Cookie Monster enjoy a moment with Elephant and Rhino, while Bert and Ernie share an afternoon ice cream with Gorilla. Blending the warmth and nostalgia of Sesame Street with Gillie and Marc’s signature anthropomorphic animal sculptures, “The Power of Togetherness” is more than a playful meeting of familiar characters. The exhibition builds on the artists’ previous conservation awareness efforts in the city, while reminding us of the value of community, the beauty in our differences, and the simple joy of spending time together with neighbors and friends. Catch up with the loveable characters through March 2027.

"Our Herd of Hope" Presented by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

During a weekend stroll in London,  we experience déjà vu when we came across lifelike bronze statues of elephants gracefully adorning Spitalfields Market. They reminded us of the herd in Berkeley Square. But these magnificent sculptures are the creation of Gillie and Marc, celebrated for promoting love, equality, and conservation worldwide.

This artistic exhibit, titled "Our Herd of Hope,"  is inspiring in that it serves a vital purpose - to generate support and awareness for the conservation of elephant species. Each smaller sculpture symbolizes a real elephant herd, emphasizing the importance of their protection. Partnering with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, this installation plans to migrate to various locations across London, making a powerful impact on its journey.  We will be following along!

Contemporary artists Gillie and Marc, known as “eco warriors, with a deep respect for the close spiritual bond between humans and animals” are taking us to the wild side at The World Trade Center with their latest exhibition “A Wild Life For Wildlife”.  Rabbitwoman and Dogman, Gillie and Marc’s best known and beloved characters, take us on a journey with endangered animals who ride in tandem in hopes for a better tomorrow. Gillie and Marc invite the public to join the beautiful, endangered creatures in a quest to educate the public about each animal’s “life, needs, and threats..putting wildlife conservation at the center of people’s cities and lives.” With a sister exhibition running alongside in London, we can help share endangered species’ stories through the hashtag #LoveTheLast.
