CBS News published an article and video segment highlighting an inclusive collaboration between the Local LIC and AHRC NYC’s ArTech Collective. The art exhibit, “The Art of Solitude,” was curated by ARTBreakOUT in partnership with Queens-based teaching artist Bonnie Astor, features a diverse collection of works, including artists supported by AHRCNYC’s ArTech studio in Long Island City. The show aims to uplift diverse perspectives.
“My friend Lois Stavsky and I put this idea together to help represent underrepresented artists, so that could be artists with disabilities of any type, artists that are not typically seen in the more well-known galleries or museums,” co-curator and ArTech instructor Bonnie Astor said.
