Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. is hosting an Artist Showcase to exhibit artists of various types from his district, both still artists and performing artists. There will be singers, painters, woodcarvers, photographers, mixed media, comedy, variety acts and more. 

“Queens has some of the most diverse, talented and creative people in the world,” Addabbo said. “Last year’s artist showcase was a real eye-opener for many attendees who got to experience these treasures for the first time, and I’m sure now in our second year we will uncover more hidden gems.”

To perform at the event, artists must have submitted samples for the showcase and have been accepted in advance. The solicitation of artists period is now closed. 

The showcase is a way for artists to share their talents with the community. It is not a competition. There are no prizes and there is no sale of any kind at the event.

Admission is free to the public and everyone is invited to attend.  

“We are providing a welcoming stage where performers at every level can share their work, connect with audiences, and build a supportive district that lifts up everyone,” Addabbo said. “Art thrives when communities come together.”
