Msgr. McGolrick Park, Brooklyn

Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.

Description:
​With the knowledge that scent conveys memories and feelings in an impactful way, artist and perfumer Anne McClain created Humanity Fountain, a monument to everyday compassion. The fountain emits a subtle fragrance composed of all natural plant materials (white lotus, sandalwood, mate tea and diluted water).  This exhibition also serves as a backdrop for educational programs by local artists, ranging from natural perfumery and botanical sciences to informative sessions on creative ways to participate in volunteer opportunities in North Brooklyn neighborhoods. For information on these program, visit trustart.org.

Commissioned by TRUST ART. In collaboration with Lance McGregor, Alan Iwamura, Isaac Tecosky, Facundo Newbery, and Jarek Klim. Supported by the Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn.
