PUBLIC ART & GARDEN TOUR: BPC LANDSCAPE AS ART
Join Landscape Architect and Horticulturist Nancy Seaton for a thought-provoking tour investigating how landscapes are often the receptacle of art– the context within which sculpture is placed. Explore how the landscapes of Battery Park City is the art, in places such as South Cove and Teardrop Park.
