Snow In Day in NYC : Let’s Head to the Park

February 11, 2017 Artists

Art in the Streets! Art in the park!

Okay, a really loose interpretation here, but who can deny that the hand of nature often looks like it belongs to an artist?

This week New York was clobbered in a frosty white powdery art material that masked out so much, drawing attention to what remained visible. It also suddenly had new sculptural qualities, full of volume, motion, sloping curves, density, texture.

All of it was interactive. Beckoning for your participation.

Our own Jaime Rojo took off to Central Park to see and capture the myriad ways that people and animals played in, around, on top of, and underneath the snow.

Hope you’ll find some creative inspiration and enjoy this walk in the park.
