Opening Celebration: The Socrates Annual 2025 x Annual Artist Picnic

Experience the new works of our 2025 Fellows! These five site-specific projects–spanning sculpture, performance, and social practice–respond to the theme Up/rooted. Through diverse approaches, these works explore the complexities of relocation and adaptation, as well as the delicate balance between ecological preservation and community needs in pursuit of a more resilient future. Join us for an opening celebration featuring activations and performances by the Artist Fellows, followed by our second Annual Artist Picnic—where past and present come together as we honor our founding commitment to artistic experimentation and excellence. Socrates Alumni Artists, along with partners, kids, and pets, are all welcome!
