Snap the Sweep: NYC at Work Photo Walk Highlights Sanitation Workers During Open House New York Weekend

High school students are at the forefront of Snap the Sweep: NYC at Work, a photography project that celebrates the contributions of sanitation workers in New York City while highlighting those who keep the metropolis functioning. Kicking off with a brief presentation, participants will then engage in a photo walk and neighborhood clean-up in the Lower East Side, merging photography with community service. This event is set for October 17, 2026, from 10:45 AM to 11:30 AM, and is free to attend. It coincides with Open House New York Weekend and the Fujikina NYC 2026 photo festival, sponsored by FUJIFILM, which will be hosted at ICP, where admission will also be complimentary.
