Artist Kenny Scharf and Art Production Fund (APF) hosted four free, public, all-ages interactive art-making workshops in October at Rockefeller Center as part of the Art Sundae program. The program was held on Saturday, October 10, 17, 24, and 31.
Inspired by Scharf’s otherworldly Living Sunshine Caverns, kids were invited to paint planters with playful characters and colorful designs. Each one-of-a-kind creation housed a plant, bringing a little bit of Scharf’s fantastical world to life! The children’s artworks are displayed at Rockefeller Center as part of a public art exhibition until the end of the year.
The workshops will take place outside 10 Rockefeller Plaza, on the South Plaza between 48th and 49th streets. In case of inclement weather, the workshops will move inside the lobby of 10 Rockefeller Plaza. Registration is for participating children only.
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.
