Socrates Sculpture Park’s teaching artists will lead art-making workshops to create musical instruments and cosmos-themed sculptures out of recycled materials. Students from LaGuardia Community College will offer “tours of the sky” with their telescope. To add to the festivities, we’ll feature face painting by Agostino Arts, a special solstice ritual performed by Urban Shaman Mama Donna, and a sunset paddle offered by the LIC Community Boathouse.
