Whether you're an art lover, an academic, or just a curious mind, come join us on a journey through the fascinating world of Central Park’s art history.
We will gather for the picnic at approximately 4PM, between the Obelisk and Greywacke Arch - leveled at East 81st Street (the exact location will be sent via email before the event). We encourage you to invite a friend or family member or show up with your four-legged besties. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and bring a blanket. Everyone is encouraged to bring snacks, refreshments, and/or something bubbly. Let's celebrate summer, community, and art together!
