Weekday Sketchers at Park Ave "Zoo"


Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!!


Welcome To The Zoo on Park Avenue! – Patrons of Park Avenue | Supporting  the Maintenance of the Malls of Park Avenue in New York City



Well, not quite. But there is a lion, a bear, a gorilla, a dinosaur and even a mastodon right on Park Avenue!  

Join us this week as we explore this temporary installation along Park Avenue in the 30's.  Sponsored by the Patrons of Park Avenue (POPA), these sculptures are the creation of Idriss B in his iconic polygonal shaped animals. Painted in bright colors with the meridian's foliage as a backdrop these animals should make great studies for our sketchbooks.  For more information about this installation, click here: https://patronsofparkavenue.org/art/
