Organizations
No affiliations, besides the City of New York Parks & Recreations and
The Long Island City Cultural Alliance (LICCA):
From http://www.nycservice.org/organizations/615:
- LICCA is comprised of nine member organizations, including: Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs, the Fisher Landau Center for Art, Museum for African Art, Museum of the Moving Image, the Noguchi Museum, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, SculptureCenter, Socrates Sculpture Park and Thalia Spanish Theatre. LICCA is committed to promoting and increasing the visibility and accessibility of Long Island City which is home to an amazingly diverse group of visual and performing arts organizations as well as cultural institutions and activities. In addition to our annual event, Summer in LongIsCity, LICCA publishes a quarterly guide to arts and culture in Long Island City that is distributed citywide.
Suggestions:
International Sculpture Center (ICA)
- ISC membership is open to anyone with an interest in the field of sculpture.
- Discounts on supplies, material, vendors, advertsing space in Sculpture Magazine and on their website. Many other benefits.
- Socrates Sculpture Park is already listed in their directory along with other prominent sculpture parks.
No specific Sculpture Park associations to join. Opportunity to grow and create a community for outdoor sculpture parks!
