50 Years of Art in the Parks

In 2017, NYC Parks celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Art in the Parks program. Since its creation in 1967, Art in the Parks has displayed more than 2,000 works of outdoor public art across New York City. 

On October 21, 2017, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our Art in the Parks program in Central Park with art exhibits, performances, and workshops! Learn more about the It's Happening! Fest
