Art work by North Queens Community High School students centers around the themes of city living and urban identity. Growing up in the city, feeling its round-the-clock pulse, and seeing new buildings and new people rise up in the neighborhoods creates a constant sense of movement and expectation. A human being has the power to enter a new environment; to change it, to create a new one from scratch. Sometimes, a stranger's glance, an open fire hydrant, or the jagged NYC skyline can shift the mood; sometimes, an inner impulse to take in one’s surroundings comes out in the form of art. The medium is unimportant as long as the artist is in the moment, expressing the self through the rhythm of the city.
Urban Landscapes: through my eyes is an art exhibition and sale of the work of young artists from North Queens High
School. The students were led by instructor, Natalia Margulis. All artwork is for sale, and all proceeds will go to supporting the arts at North Queens High School.
The show will run until AUGUST 25th and will also be shown at The Festival of Colors Fête on Sunday, July 25th.
