News from The Garden
In October 2022, we completed our final phase of development - a “test tour”! We visited 7 parks and green spaces across all 5 boroughs, and welcomed over 100 families back into nature. You can view the programs from the show and see photos below. This program and its development were made possible by the New York City Artist Corps, support form the New Victory LabWorks Alumni Program, and our generous donors.
Many thanks to the staff of the parks and partners who made the test tour a reality:
Sunset Park and NYU Langone’s Healthy Families (Sunset Park, Brooklyn)
Lewis Latimer House (Flushing, Queens)
The Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens (Staten Island)
Seward Park and University Settlement (Chinatown, Manhattan)
St. Mary’s Park and Sheltering Arms (South Bronx, Bronx)
J. Hood Wright Park, People’s Theater Project and Jugando N’ Play (Washington Heights, Manhattan)
We look forward to our next steps, to be announced Spring 2023! If you would like to bring The Garden to YOUR local park or green space, please contact Producing Artistic Director Jess Kaufman at jess@flying-leap.com.
