LIC-A  presents Cement Beach – Summer in the City, our 2025 Summer Members Exhibition, featuring work by LIC-A member artists that captures the spirit, rhythm, and sensory richness of New York City in summertime.

From the heat shimmering on sidewalks to the golden glow bouncing off glass towers, Cement Beach celebrates the fleeting poetry of the season. Artists respond to the distinct light, vibrant color, and texture of NYC’s urban summer—its beaches, waterways, and hidden oases; its sounds, shadows, and spontaneous street moments.

Whether depicting scenes of motion or repose, reflections at dusk, or the pulse of people navigating the heat, this exhibition is a collective love letter to summer in the city—gritty, glowing, and unmistakably alive. - Norma Homberg
