Socrates Sculpture Park
On January 9th, the NYC Ferry team met with the visionaries leading the organization behind Astoria’s funky waterfront sculpture park. A stone throw from our future Astoria ferry stop at Hallets Point, the Socrates Sculpture Park hosts over 200,000 visitors per year and is a neighborhood favorite as it sports a great waterfront view and intriguing art installations. With installations such as the Monument to Christopher Walken (aka. a Christopher Walken Mushroom Forest) and More Light (pictured above), the park functions as a hub for creative programming, art installations, and public gatherings for locals and visitors alike. Socrates is open 365 days a year from 10am to sunset, and explore the emerging artist exhibitions currently in the park here.
