The League’s exclusive public sculpture program, presented in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
Works in Public, originally known as Model the Monument, is a fully-funded program that invites artists to conceive of, create, and install site-specific sculptures in partnership with League instructors, Works in Public advisors, and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Works in Public participants receive a monthly stipend and a scholarship for a full-time class at the League for the duration of the program.
Since its inception, 46 artists have had their sculptures installed in year-long public exhibitions at Riverside Park South and Riverside Park at 145th Street.
Lead by renowned sculptors and League instructors Haksul Lee and Natsuki Takauji, who are Works in Public alumni, it is a selective and demanding program. Each individual artist works independently to fulfill their requirements, while collaborating with instructors to ensure their artwork is ready for display.
After being on display in New York City, many pieces from the Works in Public program are relocated for permanent exhibition at the Florida Keys Sculpture Trail.
