Everyday of Chinatown Arts Week from 1-5pm, the newsstand on Mott/Mosco St will be open for a chat and some photos.

Stop by to visit with Corky and other neighborhood artists and friends throughout the afternoon, pick up a book or a photo for yourself, or maybe grab a snack and get caught up on the cultural news and local Chinatown gossip -- just like you would in the old days!

This mini newsstand gallery show, curated by Corky Lee and Carolyn Ratcliffe, will include works by local photographers selected from the book “CHINATOWN: Lens on the Lower East Side” published in 2019 by the Lower East Side Preservation Initiative. This collection of contemporary photographs of Chinatown’s historic core captures the spirit of today’s residents, workers, and visitors against a backdrop of the area’s rich and wonderful historic buildings. The neighborhood's streetscapes are not only beautiful and irreplaceable, but also serve to enrich and enliven everyday modern life. 

Please remember to wear a mask and maintain 6 feet distance at the newsstand. Corky will be there, weather permitting with short breaks.
