June 1, 2013

Art Around the Park 2013

A live action, weekend-long event connecting Festivalgoers with more than 140 artists of all ages as they turn an 8 foot high, 900 foot long blank “canvas” encircling the exterior of Tompkins Square Park into an explosion of color and creativity. Go ahead, schmooze!

Among the multitude of wonderful artists participating this year, we can only mention in any ‘depth’ but a few!


Antonio “Chico” Garcia


There is, of course, the world-reknown CHICO, a local guy from the LES who has parlayed his incomparable artistic talent into a tri-coastal and international career. He is a legend! AND an Art Around the Park institution!
