Three 40 min sessions will take place. Please register everyone in your party. The workshop will be located in the official NYNJ World Cup 26 & Telemundo Fan Village at Rockefeller Center on The Pitch (in Sunken Plaza). Register HERE!

Art Sundae is an ongoing public program presented by APF that provides children a hands-on art-making experience led by a contemporary artist. Designed to be accessible and highlight art’s positive impact across all communities, this free program gives children the opportunity to experiment with various media inspired by an artist's practice. The work that is created in a collaboration between the artist and children then becomes a public art installation that remains on view. Art Sundae was started in 2017 by APF and Fort Gansevoort.
