NEW YORK - EntSun -- The Equity Gallery is proud to present the work of nine nationally recognized artists in a new collection of oil paintings and maps, "NYC Watershed Art Project." The title refers to the beautiful landscapes that have provided drinking water to New York City since the mid-19^th century. This series presents a contemporary portrait of these watersheds as they appear today, from the serene Croton River to the wild Catskills scenery that inspired the Hudson River School artists.

The team consists of artists associated with leading institutions such as the Grand Central Atelier, New York Academy of Art, the Hudson River Fellowship, as well as professional land planners and mapmakers:

Diana Buitrago          Eric Leichtung

John Burkholder          Mario Robinson

Robin Kappy          Patricia Watwood

Over the course of 18 months the team of artists took an immersive journey, going on field visits, documenting the process through plein air sketches and paintings. With the help of guides and advisors they explored remote landscapes and their histories. Echoing the practice of the Hudson River School artists, larger studio paintings were produced based on field studies.

A series of maps were also produced as part of the project that make the diverse landscapes and their rivers accessible to a general audience.

Viewers will be invited to discover the source of their drinking water as it travels from the Catskill Mountains through giant aqueducts that operate by gravity alone as they learn about the history of the watershed. They will see through the eyes of award-winning artists who have explored the rivers just to feel how nature has formed the landscapes and how man has made use of the water to serve a great city.
