A. King McCarty is proud to be the recipient of the 2018 Queens Council on the Arts ArtHotel residency at the SpringHill Suites LaGuardia. Over the next 3 months, AKM will be holding open studio hours while creating pieces inspired by the surrounding neighborhoods, including Corona, Flushing and East Elmhurst. AKM is also interested in what Queens places are most special to you. If there is a place you would like to see represented, please send a message. Open Studio hours will be updated on a weekly basis, below, and on the Splendid Astoria facebook page, where you can see art specially created for this project. Art can also be viewed on tumblr at SplendidAstoria.tumblr.com.
This project is made possible (in part) by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council with support from SpringHill Suites, LaGuardia and Materials for the Arts.
