Socrates Sculpture Park

Socrates Sculpture Park

Socrates Sculpture Park is located in the neighborhood Long Island City, Queens (New York City, USA) at the intersection of Broadway and Vernon Boulevard. It was created in 1986 by American sculptor Mark di Suvero on an abandoned landfill. In addition to exhibition space, the park offers an arts education program and job training.

In 2005, the park was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
