The Putting Lot examines the relevance of empty space in the city. Located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, this miniature golf course occupies what was once a vacant lot.

Visitors will be able  to experience putt putt as a means for embodying and moving through art and ideas. Each hole will be designed by a different group of artists or architects around themes of urban sustainability. Whether actively or passively, users will engage with the art and the ideas embedded in the course.

The Putting Lot will be fun and entertaining while creating awareness about specific urban issues in an affordable and accessible way. The changes that have and continue to occur in this neighborhood jeopardize its sustainability. Empty spaces hold the potential to shape the future of this area, and The Putting Lot examines what might occupy these spaces. By experiencing the ideas of urban sustainability presented by artists and architects and by taking part in a series of events held in the public area, visitors are encouraged to participate in a productive conversation.
