Artist Alley Opening: "Make It 10 Cents" Siyan Wong

Artist Alley Opening: "Make It 10 Cents" Siyan Wong

Artist Alley Opening: "Make It 10 Cents" Siyan Wong

Welcome to Chinatown’s Artist Alley is showcasing Siyan Wong’s paintings in a solo exhibition that depict workers who collect cans to survive. Wong’s paintings give visibility to the work of the historically marginalized, and puts a spotlight on the cans and bottles that end up in costly landfills. Wong states that, “Art is only as powerful as the inspiration for actions that comes from it.”

Simultaneous with the exhibit opening is a silent auction to benefit Sure We Can, the only non-profit community driven redemption center in New York City. Sure We Can intends to use the funds for a one-day pop up redemption site in Chinatown that simulates the Bigger Better Bottle Bill, which will pay canners 10 cents per can rather than the current 5 cents per can, and allow all types of containers to be redeemed except for dairy and juice products.


Location: The Hub (115 Bowery)
Gallery Opening 4/14/2026,
@6-8pm
Exhibition on-view till 5/29/2026
