SOCRATES SCULPTURE PARK AND THE NOGUCHI MUSEUM PRESENT
KITE FLIGHT
SATURDAY, MAY 19, 2012 / 11AM - 2PM (Rain or Shine)
FREE
Using recycled materials, children and their families draw inspiration from the Park's fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline to build and decorate kites, and then fly them in the Park.
The kite-making workshop will be led by artists Miwa Koizumi and Marco Scoffier (metm.org), who will teach us how to make kites from plastic bags! Kite Flight is free and all supplies will be provided. If you have extra plastic bags that you would like to recycle, please bring them to the workshop and we'll make them fly! X As part of our current exhibition Civic Action, artist Natalie Jeremijenko will demonstrate kite-mapping, a low cost, easy to use method for creating maps and aerial images on demand.
ALSO THIS WEEKEND See our new exhibitions, Civic Action and Eating the Sky!
