LIC Partnership Celebrates
40th Anniversary
BY MAX PARROTT
The Long Island City Partnership — the
neighborhood’s economic development
organization — hosted a street party last
month to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
Against a Long Island City sunset,
food and drinks were served as local
musicians performed and artists were
honored Sept. 26 as approximately 1,500
attendees enjoyed the party.
The event also featured experiences
and activations with a focus on activities
where guests could make something in
promotion of the Partnership’s new “Mix
Meet Make” campaign. Guests were
given the instructions and materials to
create murals, puzzles, cookie projects
and terrariums.
The Partnership’s LIC Arts Connec-tion
program that is designed to create
temporary art installations in the area.
The program connects artists with vol-unteers
and public and private owners
to build the murals and art projects in
public spaces.
