'Park of Dreams' celebrates art and restoration of Grand Army Plaza's Memorial Arch
Briefly

GRAND ARMY PLAZA - PARK OF DREAMS, THE PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION currently on view in Grand Army Plaza, was showcased at a special event last Saturday, June 1. The goal was to share the inspiration behind the artwork and to celebrate Brooklyn's Backyard through an inside look at this public art exhibition.
Park of Dreams is a curated presentation of contemporary artworks by local artists Marcus Brutus, Kelly Beeman, Alyssa Klauer, Danielle Orchard, Cydne Coleby, Jules De Balincourt, Amy Lincoln, Bianca Nemelc, Maria Calandra, Jon Key, Kirsten Deirup, and Na'ye Perez, which celebrates and supports Brooklyn's beloved Prospect Park.
Art For Change connects socially conscious art collectors with in-demand contemporary artists. Prospect Park Alliance sustains the iconic spot designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in the mid-19th century.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch restoration, along with the newly restored Plaza and Berms, was made possible through $8.9 million in mayoral funding, and is slated to be completed in the coming months.
