"In late 2018, Joseph T. Newton participated in an exhibition featuring members of Kansas City’s African American Artists Collective at Tomahawk Ridge Community Center in Overland Park. Soon after that, Sonié Ruffin included two of his large, boldly hued paintings in her remarkable “What’s Going On” exhibition at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center. In December, Newton participated in the African American Artists Collective residency at the Charlotte Street Foundation’s Capsule space. In March, the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Heritage Center and State Museum opened a solo exhibit of Newton’s abstractions and Egypt-inspired works in the balcony gallery, where it continues through May 31." ~ Courtesy of KC Studio, FB May 17, 2019
