Celebrating Student Artists at the 2026 Queens Borough Arts Festival!

We are proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of two of our talented student artists who have been selected to exhibit their work at the 2026 Queens Borough Arts Festival at the Queens Museum.

🎨 Featured Student Artists:

  • Vanessa Gabis (10th grade, Ms. Gerken’s class) — Sea of Luna”

  • Ahnaf Sajid (Ms. Xie’s class) — Rebirth From Waste: The Dragon Axolotl” (3D sculpture)

Their work will be on display from April 28 through May 20, 2026, alongside outstanding student artwork from across Queens.

This recognition highlights not only the students’ creativity and dedication, but also the support and guidance of our exceptional art educators. Their achievements reflect the strength of our arts program and the vibrant talent within our school community.

We encourage families to visit the exhibition and support our student artists as they represent Newtown with pride. Congratulations to Vanessa, Ahnaf, and their teachers on this wonderful accomplishment! 🎉
