Yesteryear's Coney Island is but a blip in our minds. The Municipal Art Society of New York (MASNYC) is trying to put the spirit back into "the world's playground" with its ImagineConey Public Program. One of the most intriguing talks in the series is taking place tonight. At 6:30 PM at their headquarters (457 Madison Ave.), MASNYC will present "Imagining Coney: Bold Ideas, Technicolor Dreams, and Fanciful Concepts." At this free event (RSVP required) the more than 300 ideas for the future of Coney Island submitted by designers and laymen will be reviewed.
Some of these ideas are on display in the gallery at the MASNYC headquarters. They will be on exhibit until March 11. The gallery is open Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat: 11 am – 5 pm. Closed Thurs and Sun.
On January 14, MASNYC gave a presentation on some of the ImagineConey ideas at Our Lady of Solace Church, which used part of the timbers from one of the original rides in Coney Island in its belfry. You can download the presentation here.
