Review:
Socrates Sculpture Park is an outdoor sculpture park in Queens' Astoria neighborhood, showcasing large sculptures and multimedia installation works by emerging and established artists. The park was established in 1986 by artist Mark di Suvero, converting an abandoned landfill space into a four-acre garden that was permanent protected by the City of New York in 1998. New installations are showcased several times a year, including printmaking and photography billboard installations that have been developed as part of an ongoing billboard installation series since 1999. Free tours of current exhibitions are presented periodically by city artists, and free public special events are hosted at the site, including outdoor film screenings, a farmers' market, and yoga sessions.
