Since 1967, New York has been committed to letting works of art “loose in the city.”
By turning public spaces into makeshift outdoor museums, everyone has an opportunity to appreciate art without having to pay a fee. Just by walking aimlessly through a park, you can accidentally come across a sculpture or installation. It has happened to me many times.
Recently, the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation partnered with artists and arts organizations to continue bringing temporary public art to all five boroughs. Hundreds of artists, coming from all different backgrounds, have used this venue to display their work to a larger audience.
Virtually any park is suitable to hold art, though some locations are considered to be artistic hubs.
Artists can also submit ideas for future exhibits. In order to do so, they must draft a written proposal outlining the details of the project, including its dimensions and price. It’s a great opportunity for both established and up-and-coming artists to showcase their work.
