Our Mission: To create an image of hope and beauty for New Yorkers.
So What is "The Butterflies of Memory"?
Butterflies of Memory is a temporary public sculpture on the site of the collapsed Smallpox Hospital Ruins on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan. Seventeen giant yellow butterflies, each ten feet in diameter, will fly between 18 and 36 feet above the Ruins, visually carrying off the building. Installed in the summer of 2012, "Butterflies of Memory" will be viewable from Roosevelt Island, the Midtown Waterfront and the FDR highway, thus bringing an image of inspiration and beauty to over two million New Yorkers.
