Event Navigation
As part of the yearlong celebration of our 10th anniversary at 10 River Terrace, we’re excited to announce the opening of the Poets House Poetry Path—an immersive public art installation of poetry running from Rockefeller Park’s north end to the marina at Brookfield Place—right here in Battery Park City! This installation includes fragments from poems reaching across time, space, and cultures, featuring almost 50 poets whose work considers the relationships between people, nature, and the urban landscape.
We celebrate its opening with programs that follow the theme of pathfinding, including several that invite you to step into the Path and participate in the creation of new engagements with public space.
