The Facts
Kenny Scharf will lead Art Sundae, a free public art-making workshop presented by Art Production Fund, at Rockefeller Center in New York every Saturday in October starting October 10, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm. The workshop is open to all ages and invites children to paint planters with characters and colorful designs inspired by Scharf's Living Sunshine Caverns. Each planter will house a plant, and the completed works will be displayed at Rockefeller Center as part of a public art exhibition. The workshops take place outside 10 Rockefeller Plaza on the South Plaza, moving indoors in case of inclement weather.
The Signal
The collaboration between Scharf and Art Production Fund brings a hands-on, accessible art experience to a major public space, reinforcing the trend of artist-led community engagement in high-traffic urban settings. For collectors and curators, Scharf's involvement signals his continued relevance in public art and his ability to translate his vibrant, pop-infused aesthetic into participatory formats. The resulting installation offers a unique, ephemeral addition to Rockefeller Center's public art landscape, potentially increasing visibility for both the artist and the fund's programming.
