KITE FLIGHT 2012
Kite Making Workshop at Socrates Sculpture Park Saturday, May 19, 2012 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM (Rain or Shine) FREE Socrates and The Noguchi Museum present our annual kite event. Using recycled materials, children and their families draw inspiration from the Park's fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline to build and decorate kites, and then fly them in the Park. The workshop will be led by teaching artists Miwa Koizumi and Marco Scoffier (metm.org). Kite Flight is free and supplies will be provided. X As part of Civic Action, artist Natalie Jeremijenko will demonstrate kite-mapping, a low cost, easy to use method for creating maps and aerial images on demand. PARTNERS The Noguchi Museum is dedicated to the work of one of the twentieth century's most important artists and designers. Founded in 1985 by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) in a former photo-engraving plant, the Museum helped pioneer the transformation of Long Island City into an arts destination. From 11am-6pm, Kite Flight attendees can cross the street to view the museum's comprehensive collection of Noguchi's artwork in galleries that surround an open-air sculpture garden. SUPPORTERS This program is supported, in part, by and by public funds from both the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts. Generous support is also provided by AT&T, as the leading sponsor of Socrates Sculpture Park's Saturday Sculpture Workshops in 2012. Socrates Sculpture Park and The Noguchi Museum are grateful for the support of the City of New York, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall, City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan, City Council members James G. Van Bramer and Peter F. Vallone Jr., and the Department of Parks & Recreation, Commissioner Adrian Benepe.
