ACDC’s Modern-day Stoop to Connect Neighbors
About Hudson Street Stoop
Hudson Street Stoop is a rotating public art initiative to transform One Greenway Park into an activated and inclusive neighborhood “stoop.”
Our goals are to create art that reminds working-class individuals and families that they belong and honor the rich history of Chinatown. ACDC collaborates with Chinatown residents and local artists to create interactive, rotating public art installations every 18 months.

Rendering of Dancing Dragon by artists Katherine Chin & Parke MacDowell
The 2023 Hudson Street Stoop installation, Dancing Dragons by artists Katherine Chin & Parke MacDowell, was developed in collaboration with Chinatown residents. Dancing Dragon consists of a steel pavilion with meandering canopy structure providing seating, shade, and the armature for community activity. It is inspired by traditional Chinese dragon dance.
The Process
Hudson Street Stoop is advised by a committee of Chinatown residents and local arts administrators. The committee helped ACDC put out a request for qualifications (RFQ) to seek artists experienced in creating public art and engaging with community members as part of the creative process.
Community Visioning Sessions with residents & community members informs each design and selection process. The final selection is by the HSS Committee.
Throughout the year, ACDC facilitates community events that activates the space for the community.
