Tony celebrated his 14th birthday with five mentors and artists from A Little Creative Class. We joined the Newtown Creek Alliance for the annual Creek-A-Thon, an epic 13-mile walk led by historian Mitch Waxman. The Creek-A-Thon is a narrated exploration around the industrial periphery of Newtown Creek, which is literally situated in the backyard of the Little Creative Class arts compound in Maspeth.
Newtown Creek has been a main inspiration for our current multidisciplinary conceptual art project, titled Creek & Rail. The project involves collecting trash and other found objects from the creek and railroad tracks that border it.
