DOT Trick or Streets — Sugar Painting for Kids
Lina Liu Artist Group was invited by the NYC Department of Transportation to bring the traditional Chinese sugar painting art to 118-01 190th St, Jamaica, NY as part of the Trick or Streets celebration!

Children watched with wide eyes and happy smiles as our artist turned melted sugar into beautiful candy artworks — from pumpkins and ghosts to butterflies and dragons. The event created a joyful Halloween afternoon filled with laughter, colors, and sweet cultural discovery.

We’re grateful to NYC DOT for supporting community art programs that bring families together and inspire creativity on New York’s streets.

🧡 A day full of sweetness, smiles, and cultural joy!
