REYES PROJECTS AT NADA NEW YORK PRESENTING JAMES BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BOOTH 2.03 MARCH 8-11, 2018 DETROIT, MI –  Reyes Projects  is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new work by Detroit-based artist  James Benjamin Franklin  at  NADA New York, March 8 - 11, 2018 . This will be the gallery’s first booth at the fair’s New York iteration.

The Clinton Foundation is continuing their help within the countries that were affected during the hurricane season, there will be meetings held in various areas such as New York, Dominica and the U.S Virgin Islands, to communicate effective ways of rebuilding the cities and assist the schooling and medical aspects of the Islands. How will their projects affect the current residence that reside on the Islands? There are already issues with Robert De Niro and the resort that he is currently trying to build in Barbuda. The citizens believe that because of this devastating event that took place; they are being exploited. There was a communal land ownership law that protected the citizens and made it possible for them to keep their land. Now with the new development taking place and rebuilding of the city many fear that they will lose their lands that they own and will not be able to rebuild their homes. There were so many people that lost a great deal during the hurricane season
