(Shutterstock) BAYSIDE, QUEENS Four artists in residence were named in the annual Urban Field Station s Artist in Residence Program, hosted virtually this year out of Fort Totten Park in Bayside, according to a press release on Tuesday. Cecile Chong, Sharon Heitzenroder, Nikki Lindt, and Kilia Llano were chosen as this year s resident artists for their proposals that examine the intersection between art, urban ecology, and community-based design.
