Fastnet Observational Drawing Workshop
Event Information
Description
Visit Freshkills Park for an artist-led observational drawing workshop in Fastnet, a shipping container converted into a studio and project space! This workshop will create a visual awareness of the landscape and foster an understanding of the consequences our actions have on the environment through discussion.
Fastnet was purchased by artist James Powers 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.
We will meet in the parking lot at the corner of East Service Road and Wild Avenue before entering the Freshkills Park site together. Use the address 350 Wild Avenue for directions.
This workshop is free but registration is required.

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.
