Socrates Sculpture Park was an abandoned riverside landfill and illegal dumpsite until 1986 when a coalition of artists and community members, under the leadership of artist Mark di Suvero, transformed it into an open studio and exhibition space for artists and a neighborhood park for local residents. Today it is an internationally renowned outdoor museum and artist residency program that also serves as a vital New York City park offering a wide variety of public services.
Well, it wasn't as great as the one in St. Louis, but it's a neat idea and a nice little place for reading or relaxing on a sunny day.
huh, just realized none of these pictures are actually of the sculptures, just the river.
