One of the things I love about bringing art outside is that anybody (you) can be randomly strolling across the lawn, look over and see something that draws them in. Those moments are #chefskiss for me.
Here are just a few of the 28 artists you’ll find on the lawn this Saturday.
Come see what draws you in.
WE’RE OUTSIDE Saturday, August 29 | 2–7 PM Marcus Garvey Park — Northwest Lawn Free

This week we welcome Damaris Chamorro (@createtheframe), an Ecuadorian illustrator and painter based in Queens. Chamorro uses oil paint and photography to capture the diversity of the community where she lives and her daily observations of working people.

“As I quietly observed ordinary moments, my interest was sparked to create paintings that explore themes of community, nature and identity. Inspired by working people, their labor, as well as a connection to nature on regular walks, I set out to document everyday life,” said Chamorro.

[1] “Building New York” (2024). Oil Paint. 18” x 24” [2] “Zara” Oil Paint on Wood Panel. 16” x 20” [3] “The Garden” (2024). Colored Pencils, Acrylic Paint, Digital. 18” x 24”

💙 Cyanotype workshop with @createtheframe
☀️ Sunday, July 12 & July 19, 3PM
📌 ART, 8426 37th Ave. Jackson Heights ($35)

🎟️ Purchase tickets on website or in store.

Damaris is an Ecuadorean American powerhouse of an artist and really dives into the reasoning and methods of every medium she teaches. Don’t miss out on this! Two Sundays! For adults and artists ages 12ish & up. ⚡️

Join us the next two Sundays to learn, explore and create your own Cyanotypes at ART. Cyanotypes are a very fun and accessible art form that lets you play with shadows, angles, composition and shapes. It’s where we get the word “blueprint”. An early form of developing prints from already existing objects - aka lowkey photography.

Meet Arlene, a committed volunteer who’s been part of our soup kitchen at the Harlem Temple Community Center for over a year. 💒

Arlene told us, “I like that we get to come in early and make preparations for the food. I enjoy doing this because I know that people are getting fed. I don’t get to always see their faces but it doesn’t matter because I know that this work is about giving back. This is worthwhile.”

We’re grateful for Arlene’s dedication and joining us in our daily mission to uplift local communities with compassion and care. ❤️

If you’d like to serve with us at a nearby soup kitchen, visit the bio link.
