Art in the Parks

Orange Kaleidoscope is constructed from 56 mirrors and steel. It replaces the camera lens with the human eye, inviting poetic optical explorations within and beyond the urban landscape. Looking through it reveals its power to construct and deconstruct the surrounding environment, while the sculpture patiently awaits the viewer, ready to reflect and project their presence.

Radar Kaleidoscope looks to both sky and land, interweaving science, mathematics, and nature into an amplified image. It captures and reinterprets the surrounding landscape, transforming it into multiple perspectives that offer a fresh view of the world. These diverse interpretations invite viewers to experience their environment as if gazing into an entirely different realm.

This exhibition is presented by the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.

Stretching across the entirety of Lenox Academy's basketball court, this mural captures the essence of courage, love, and valor through a dynamic portrayal of two iconic figures, Lover Boy and Lenox Academy Mascot. At the top stands Lover Boy, a beloved character known for his unwavering compassion and empathy is the King of Hearts. Opposite stands the Fox King, representing the indomitable spirit of Lenox Academy's mascot. The Fox King exudes confidence and determination, urging students to channel their inner strength and tenacity on the court. Despite their differences, the King of Hearts and the Fox King share a profound connection, symbolizing the unity of love and courage in the pursuit of victory. Our hope is as students step onto the royal court, they are enveloped by the mural's powerful message: to be brave, loving, and valiant in both sport and life.

A work from the artist’s Monuments to Motherhood series, the fifteen-foot-tall bronze sculpture honors caregiving in all its forms, recognizing those who nurture, sustain, and support their communities—often in ways that go unseen. Across the country, public statuary rarely reflects these essential contributions, and the role of care remains largely overlooked in civic spaces. This sculpture offers a powerful acknowledgment of those whose labor holds society together and stands as a testament to the generations that came before us.

This exhibition is presented by the Prospect Park Alliance.

Future Perfect draws inspiration from James Baldwin’s profound observation that “Hope is invented every day.” In this photography exhibition, Design Works High School students want to capture moments of possibility, resilience, and transformation in their communities. Through their lenses, students will document the daily acts of hope that often go unnoticed, weaving a visual narrative that challenges the prevailing narrative of despair.

This exhibition is presented by Photoville and is the recipient of the 2025 Photoville & Photowings Educator Exhibition Grant.

The Dear Neighbor Project is a multi-site installation that turns the voices of Gowanus residents into mural and sculptures, illustrating their experiences with flooding in the neighborhood.

Created by Brooklyn-based artist Tiffany Baker, this fence installation is part of a multi-site mural exhibition that turns the voices of Gowanus residents into public art and illustrates their experiences with flooding in the neighborhood. To create The Dear Neighbor Project, Tiffany connected with community leaders, local organizations, business owners, and residents to learn more about the impact of flooding in Gowanus. She then organized interviews with residents about their personal experiences with flooding, ranging from long-time residents to newer arrivals, and middle schoolers to older adults. Her art installations illustrate and directly quote from these residents’ stories — sharing their experiences, advice, and stories of community support during flood events.

This exhibition is presented by the Van Alen Institute.

This piece depicts the legend of the alligator in the NYC sewers.

Even Still is a sculpture born of the paradox between movement and stasis. Abstract geometry and charged luminous colors and high-key patterns, the work stages a collision between order and disruption. Its bold colors and rhythmic surfaces engage the eye in constant motion, while its grounded structure insists on stillness. Even Still asks viewers to negotiate the tension between the pull of balance and the lure of dissonance. It is about inhabiting contradictions - finding vitality in stillness, humor in rigor, and exuberance in control.

This exhibition is presented by the Hudson Yards Hells Kitchen Alliance.

This exhibition is presented by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts and Project Backboard.

The concept for this artwork is a colorful background representing the human impact on the environment with superimposed silhouettes of the absence of animals. This mural grew out of Korea Art Forum’s 2023 Shared Dialogue Shared Space program, with a theme of an Alternative Manhattan Project, which brings together artists who will be presenting their community-oriented and thought-provoking works of participatory art to engage the community in conversations on peacebuilding. The artists imagine an alternative history, inquiring what if peace-building efforts in the early 1940s were carried out through art and human interactions instead of the development of weapons of mass destruction.

This exhibition is presented by Korea Art Forum.

For the High Line, Pich presents Kânh Chhrôôl (Gluta Usitata), Melembu, and Khlông (Dipterocarpus Tuberculatus), three copper and steel sculptures inspired by seedpods of the hardwood trees that stand in the garden of the National Museum of Cambodia and the artist’s garden in Phnom Penh. On windy afternoons, seeds circle down from the giant tree canopies like falling helicopters, their movement also suggesting a minimal rendition of a landing bird. The seeds’ wings allow them to fly far away from their mother tree to eventually take root. Now rare in the wild, as the trees are cut down by poachers for their valuable timber, the seed pods suggest the attention we must give to nature and all it touches, from natural and man-made disasters to human migration and displacement caused by transformations in society and the environment.

This exhibition is presented by Friends of the High Line.

For the High Line, Liden presents Lay Day. The work combines a vibrant commercial lugger dumpster affixed with a towering street lamp to evoke a sailing boat, floating high above 10th Avenue. “Lay day” is a term used in maritime law referring to a contractually agreed upon number of days allowed for loading or unloading cargo on a ship. In repurposing this term as the commission’s title, Liden alludes to the High Line’s past as a freight rail line, which delivered and collected goods from the various warehouses, factories, and meatpackers along the tracks. The use of a commercial lugger dumpster could also be seen as a reference to Chelsea’s non-stop construction, while continuing the artist’s practice of adopting recognizable utilitarian objects and distancing them from their conventional function.

This exhibition is presented by Friends of the High Line.

Los Círculos is inspired by how people form circles for dancing, celebration, and gathering.

Portals of Remembrance features three new monuments in augmented reality (AR) created by renowned contemporary artists. This exhibition honors and illuminates the stories of underrepresented figures within the HIV/AIDS movement through three virtual monuments created by celebrated artists, Derek Fordjour, Jacolby Satterwhite, Tourmaline, and Egyptt LaBeija, reimagining the New York City AIDS Memorial as a dynamic site of memory and empowerment.

Derek Fordjour’s Cellular Chaser draws inspiration from his acclaimed Black jockey series, using the imagery of the jockey and horse to explore themes of hypervisibility, death, disappearance, and stalled progress. Expanding on the themes from Tourmaline’s short film Atlantic is a Sea of Bones and Egyptt LaBeija’s enduring legacy, their work creates an experience that is both a tribute and a testament to personal and collective histories of Black queer and trans resilience. Jacolby Satterwhite’s You Make Me Feel Mighty Real is a tribute to Sylvester, the trailblazer who revolutionized mainstream music with unapologetic, Black, queer humanity and jubilance.

This exhibition is presented by the NYC AIDS Memorial and Kinfolk.

Lov Couple is dedicated to the innate human values of undivided love, unconditional peace, and attainable freedom. Alluding to humanity's shared joy, sorrow, and regeneration, the work draws on the ¼ population loss in the artist’s native Paless’e marshlands to animate the soaring qualities of the human spirit.

Originally created for an exhibition at Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland, the ten-foot-tall sculpture takes the shape of a giant pink foot and lower leg topped with a working sprinkler. The creature-like work is playfully dotted with tongues sticking out from small lipsticked mouths, and each toenail is painted haphazardly with bright red nail polish. Foot Fountain (pink) is activated by pedals installed nearby. It irreverently reimagines traditional fountains, which are often placed in the center of squares or gardens with water that is self-contained. Instead, Foot Fountain (pink) interacts more intimately with its surroundings, using water to nourish both the place and the people around it.

This exhibition is presented by The High Line.

Improvisations in the Park activates six lawns across Madison Square Park with vibrantly colored cubes and nested arrangements. The works will be visible from the Park’s pathways, allowing for audience discovery as they glimpse and then encounter the works throughout the 6.2-acre site. The exhibition title is inspired by music and draws attention to the improvisational way these artworks can be endlessly configured with each new installation. Over the course of the exhibition, the changing conditions in the park – from the weather and light to the change of seasons – will be a key collaborator, transforming the works as the reflectivity and color of the glass reacts to its surroundings, making this a dynamic installation perfect for repeat visits. 

This project is presented by the Madison Square Park Conservancy.

Public Address is a citywide public artwork that centers the lived experience of those most impacted by housing insecurity. The project establishes a dialogue with New York City, affirming access to temporary shelter as a basic right while also exposing the limits of such provision in addressing deeper crises of affordability, displacement, and care.

Strada is the inaugural Public Artist in Residence with the NYC Department of Homeless Services and the Department of Cultural Affairs. Public Address builds on three years of collaborative log-writing workshops hosted by Strada in shelters across the city. In this exhibition, handwritten reflections by shelter residents and frontline staff are translated onto upcycled aluminum street signs fabricated by the Department of Transportation’s Sign Shop. Transforming the bureaucratic tool of the logbook and the language of city infrastructure into public art, these signs invite public dialogues about housing insecurity, migration, caregiving, and resistance. Over 300 participants have contributed so far, with new entries continually integrated as the project expands.

This exhibition is presented by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and Storefront for Art and Architecture.
