The North East Bronx Senior Center held an art show called “Throggs Neck in Bloom” on Thursday, June 26. The show highlighted beautiful art works created by the seniors who participated in a spring painting class series, let by artist in residence Josie Gonzalez. The painting class was sponsored by a SPARC (Seniors Partnering with Artists Citywide) grant, the Department of Cultural Affairs, and Bronx Council on the Arts.
