<p>Many New Yorkers are unaware of the 350 species of wild birds&mdash;almost a third of all bird species in North America&mdash;that live in or pass through New York City each year. Artist Alan Messer skillfully captures many, from exquisite migrating blackburnian warblers in Central Park&rsquo;s ramble to a Northern Harrier scanning the vast marshes of Jamaica Bay. <em>Conserving Our City of Nature:</em> <em>The Artwork of Alan Messer</em> presented by NYC Audubon reveals over 30 of Messer&rsquo;s detailed paintings, illustrations, and field sketches of New York City&#39;s avian wildlife and habitats, offering a view of NYC Audubon&#39;s conservation mission through an artistic eye. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Landmark at Socrates Sculpture Park

10:00

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>

Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life &ndash; 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&nbsp;has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation.&nbsp;With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey.&nbsp;Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!</p>
