\n Education <\/h1>\n
\n

Socrates Sculpture Park offers educational programming that explores art making and celebrates shared experiences in Socrates’ unique environment.<\/p>\n

We work with experienced artists, educators, naturalists, horticulturalists, and cultural producers to develop workshops that inspire and challenge all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. Our educational programming is inspired by the extraordinary diversity of Queens, the natural cycles of the park, and the world-class exhibitions we host. All of our educational programs are free.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n Field Guide <\/h3>\n
\n

Running from late April through October on every third Saturday from 11am\u20131pm, Field Guide consists of free hands-on workshops open to all ages and any skill level. Combining art-making and ecology, participants use their senses to discover the natural elements of the Park and create zero-waste art projects to take home.<\/p>\n

Workshops instill a permaculture mindset that encourage participants to work with the earth’s natural cycles and understand how different aspects of our ecosystem influence one another. Groups are limited to 25-40 participants depending on the scope of the activity. To reserve a spot for these workshops please email education@socratessculpturepark.org<\/a>. Please note that space is limited.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n Socrateens <\/h3>\n
\n

Socrateens is a year-long experimental art-making program for high school students selected from various NYC high schools. These students meet weekly throughout the year to discuss art, the Park, practice and process; expanding their knowledge, connection and becoming the culture producers and dedicated leaders in their communities. They work closely together to develop their critical thinking skills while exploring artistic mediums such as: sculpture-making, drawing, performance, and photo\/video skills. The program also includes visits to artist studios, cultural institutions throughout NYC, gardens and other community building spaces. Each teen receives a stipend for their participation in the program.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n Socrateens has completely changed my mindset on art. I am the youngest in the program and I haven’t had a lot of experience with outside art. This program gave me a lot of insight on the process of art. Being part of art isn’t just making it, all the people we met showed me you can do a lot more and even making a living out of it. <\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n \n Farzana <\/cite>\n <\/div>\n

\n It was my first job and one of the greatest experiences I\u2019ve ever had in regards to being able to do what I love: art. <\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n \n Anabella <\/cite>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
