Socrates Sculpture Park is a public park and arts space in Queens, NY, founded by sculptor Mark di Suvero in 1986. It hosts exhibitions, fellowships, and programs of contemporary public art, with a focus on scale and ambition.
Socrates Sculpture Park has been unique since its inception: it serves multiple purposes, as a major arts destination, a catalyst for economic development in the neighborhood, and open space access to the waterfront.
The story of this unique park demonstrates how a community can organize to reclaim and create a positive public space. Situated at the confluence of the Harlem and East Rivers, the site has a picturesque view of "Hell Gate," or "Hellegat" as originally named by the Dutch colonists.
