NCA is proud to partner with Queens based painter John Kitses on his Recovered Landscapes: Newtown Creek project. The project includes a number of large and small scale watercolor paintings, as well as ink-jet reproductions, created to raise awareness of the revival of Newtown Creek and appreciation of its beauty. The project will culminate with a gallery opening in Long Island City scheduled on October 17th, 2019 (details below). A percentage of sales income will be donated to help support NCA and our mission to Reveal, Restore and Revitalize Newtown Creek.
Opening Reception:
October 17th
5-8 PM
LIC Arts Open Gallery at The Factory LIC

The project is made possible in part by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
