About the Show
The Gramercy Art Show is Gramercy's longest running art event. Sponsored by Gramercy Neighborhood Associates, the oldest neighborhood association in Gramercy Park and one of the oldest in New York City, the Gramercy Art Show was established to welcome, showcase, and promote the work of local, emerging and established artists, and has grown in to a successful annual event with entries from around the globe.

Donald
Schreck
Photographer Donald Schreck applies his craftsman’s knowledge of light, form, and color toward producing art from skills honed after four decades as a lighting technician in the commercial film and TV industry.
Reflections are one of the visual pillars of Don’s practice, often becoming the character and context of his imagery. He strives to create images that provoke an escape from rational thought, offering the viewer a chance to pause, take a breath, and find solitude. View Donald's work here.
