My Tribe - Astoria
Tony Pignataro
March 14th-29th, 2026
This collection celebrates the friends and neighbors who make up my community in Astoria, a place I’ve called home since moving here in 2006.
Each piece is created with mixed media on wooden shims that I found. The words, cut from newspapers and magazines, echo the bits of conversation one might overhear while passing people on the street.
The hearts serve as a symbol of connection - reminders that beneath the noise and motion, we’re all in this together.
Tony Pignataro was born and raised in Massachusetts and moved to New York City in 2004. He graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a BA in Fine Arts.
Solo and group exhibitions include Astoria Art Center, Beacon Hill Art Walk (Honorable Mention Award), Boston, MA, Middle East Café, Cambridge, MA & Someday Café, Somerville, MA
