Fastnet Observational Drawing Workshop

At 2,200 acres, Freshkills Park will be almost three times the size of Central Park and the largest park developed in New York City in over 100 years. Free tours offer insights into ongoing development and unmatched views, and recreational programs provide opportunities to experience the hills and waterways before the park officially opens.

Visit Freshkills Park for an artist-led observational drawing workshop in a shipping container! <A HREF="http://freshkillspark.org/blog/drawing-outside-at-freshkills-park-with-fastnet" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fastnet</A> was purchased by artist <A HREF="http://jamespowers.us/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">James Powers</A> in 2015. Since then, the container has been used as a gallery, sauna, and gathering space. At Freshkills Park, Fastnet is fitted with drawing horses in order to lead plein-air observational drawing workshops. These workshops will create a visual awareness of the landscape and foster an understanding of the consequences our actions have on the environment through discussion. Join Freshkills Park staff, James, and other teaching artists in this one-of-a-kind drawing lesson.
Transportation can be provided from the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. This workshop is free but registration is required.
