<p>The CityParks PuppetMobile presents the classic &quot;Puss in Boots&quot; tale, with a twist. Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life - a roof over his head, the clothes on his back, and his ever faithful pet cat. One day when lamenting his poor lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his cat stands up, begins talking and introduces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to Fergus that he is very intelligent and well traveled, and even has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation. With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey. Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!</p>

Tour of Gracie Mansion

2017-05-09T00:00:00.000

11:00

11:50

<p>In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York&nbsp;City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home&nbsp;would be serving&nbsp;as the official residence of the First Family of New York City&mdash;a place where history is made, not merely recorded.</p><p>As a historic house museum run by NYC Parks, sitting on&nbsp;11 acres of grounds now known as&nbsp;Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor&nbsp;Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942.&nbsp;Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its&nbsp;doors in the spirit of the administration&#39;s motto: one city, rising together.</p><p>In celebration of our&nbsp;75th Anniversary of Gracie being a mayoral residence, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;New York 1942. This is the second in a series of installations envisioning New York through the framework of Gracie Mansion as it has been inhabited over time. It includes artwork, documents and objects from the period that the La Guardias lived in Gracie, shown together to tell a more complete story of the overall historic context as perceived from diverse perspectives.</p><p><strong>Tour Reservations</strong></p><p>To RSVP for a tour, please visit&nbsp;<a href="http://on.nyc.gov/gracietour">on.nyc.gov/gracietour</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, Gracie Mansion is not offering group tours.&nbsp;If you are part of a private organization that would like to tour the house, please email your request, including the size of group, your name and the purpose of a tour, to&nbsp;gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov&nbsp;and we will work to add you to one of the currently scheduled tours.</p><p>Photo ID required for entrance. No photography permitted in the interior. At the present time, tours are available in English only. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes in advance.</p>

Landmark at Socrates Sculpture Park

20:00

<p>Marking Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents <em>Landmark</em>, a series of artist commissions and projects that transforms the land both physically and symbolically. Once an industrial landfill and illegal dumping ground, Socrates has transformed itself into New York City&rsquo;s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. <em>Landmark</em> directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.</p><p><em>Landmark</em> features eight different artist projects including a newly commissioned major earthwork by Meg Webster. Additional artists in the exhibition include Abigail DeVille, Brendan Fernandes, Cary Leibowitz, Jessica Segall, Casey Tang, the curatorial collective ARTPORT_making waves, and a&nbsp;Broadway Billboard&nbsp;by Hank Willis Thomas. Since its inception in 1986, Socrates and the surrounding area of Queens, New York has rapidly changed. Whether by engaging directly with the land or commenting on the neighborhood&rsquo;s cultural and economic shifts, each artwork in <em>Landmark&nbsp;</em>reflects historic transformations in the making.</p>

Women In Comics Exhibition

2013-07-18T00:00:00.000

09:00

17:00

<p> &ldquo;Women in Comics&rdquo; celebrates the contributions from female creators in the sequential arts medium known as comics. Since the inception of this American Pop culture, women have always played a role as pencilers, inkers and even writers in the comic industry, but were never known because of their pseudonyms which rendered them sexless and misled the public to believe that they were males. The reasoning behind the pseudonyms was related to gaining employment as a writer or artist. Decades later, women today still are challenged to make their mark in a cartoon world overshadowed by muscles, testosterone and capes. &ldquo;Women in Comics&rdquo; unveils the mask of these heroine comic artists, writers, film makers, animators, characters and self publishers. &ldquo;Women in Comics&rdquo; is a Bronx Heroes&reg; event and is curated by Ray Felix and Regine Sawyer.</p>

Women In Comics exhibition displaying the works of female artists in the comic book industry, througout the month of July, with numerous activities each Saturday.

<p>Once a free and open society, Vienna is bitterly divided between high morals and the greed of commerce. Disguised as a monk, the duke wanders the land, prying into the daily lives of his subjects. When his deputy sentences Claudio to death, the virtue and purity of his sister, Isabella, is the price she must pay to save her brother&rsquo;s life. Measure for Measure is directed by Artistic Director Stephen Burdman.</p>

Fall Exhibition Opening: EAF13

18:00

<p> Socrates is pleased to announce the opening of its fall exhibition featuring the latest works of 15 artists to watch.</p><p> In <em>EAF13: 2013 Emerging Artist Fellowship Exhibition</em>, 15 new commissions will be on view, each responding very specifically to the park&rsquo;s unique waterfront, urban environment with conceptual and formal artworks that are visually compelling, subtly mysterious and, at times, provocative. Local and global subjects are presented along side one and other, with topics such as the history, ecology, and panorama of the park confronting broader topics of international politics, militarization, and culture. Rather than being a zeitgeist or thematic exhibition, each artist has a distinct artwork (and in some cases performance) that embodies his or her innovative exploration of sculpture in the public sphere.</p><p> This exhibition features the collective works of the park&rsquo;s 2013 Emerging Artists Fellows, each chosen through a rigorous application process; the 2013 Fellows are: Thordis Adalsteinsdottir; Diann Bauer; Michael DeLucia; Tamara Johnson; Anthony Heinz May; David McQueen; Kenneth Pietrobono; Aida Sehovic; Sandy Smith; Edouard Steinhauer; Christopher Taylor; Justin Randolph Thompson; Hong-An Truong; Gustabo Velazquez; and Myung Gyun You.</p><p> The exhibition opening will take place at Socrates Sculpture Park from 2-6:00PM, and will include:</p><p> &nbsp;- 4:00-5:00PM -- Participatory obstacle challenge by Aida Sehovic</p><p class="p1"> &nbsp;- 5:00-5:30PM&nbsp;--&nbsp;Brutus Jones performance by Justin Randolph Thompson</p><p class="p1"> <em>EAF13 </em>will remain on view through March 31, 2014.</p>
