Our Pomonok Senior Center participants had their art displayed in Resort World Casino's Red Wall Gallery. The exhibit called "Life Reimagined" shows a variety of oil paintings by 14 seniors from the Pomonok Senior Center in Flushing.
"I worked at John Adams High School for 18 years and I was Dean for six of those years. But I had to retire early to work on recovering from cancer. I was depressed, but then I found the Pomonok Senior Center and I started feeling really inspired.
"I’ve been coming to the Pomonok Senior Center for 31 years. I came specifically for the art classes. I never did any art before this. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do real art, but now I’ve made more than 100 paintings.
Our Rego Park Senior Center volunteers were named NY1's Queens People of the Week. With nearly 200 members, about 50 of them volunteer their time at our Rego Park Senior Center.
