“Then and Now” Art Show See

New Art Exhibit Has Begun At The Manhasset Public Library

“T hen and Now” is a multi-media group exhibition with over 40 artists participating, and co-ordinated by Mary Glynn, Art Coordinator at Manhasset Public Library. The work varies from quilting to photography, woodcuts, collage, quilling, multi media, watercolor, and oil painting.

All of the artists were asked to submit two pieces, one of which should be their oldest piece of work, and one being a more recent piece. This theme has created a very interesting show detailing the breadth of talent in our community, and the amazing development in the artists’ techniques over the years. Some of the work was created over forty years ago, and those artists are still creating, which is wonderful to see.

The exhibition will be on display from January 16 through April 14, and an opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 21, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
