NEW YORK — It may not have stores in Manhattan yet, but Target is making its name known about town. The most recent effort is "Target Art in the Park," a public art program celebrating the renovation of Madison Square Park.

Target Stores has funded a million-dollar, three-year series of exhibitions of works by some of the world's leading contemporary artists organized by the Public Art Foundation. The works are newly commissioned or have never been presented here before.
