Westbury Student Art Showcased At Old Westbury Gardens

Old Westbury Gardens recently held an art show displaying artwork by Westbury High School scholars. The art show featured artwork by art scholars from Anthony Abruscato’s Pre-AP and AP Art classes, Beth Ponce’s Digital Photography class and Sarah St. John’s Drawing & Painting 1 class.

“It was a beautiful day for art,” said St. John. “We have an exceptionally gifted group of aspiring artists. To our graduating seniors, know that you have inspired us all. Remember that art is all around us and never lose your passion for doing what you love.”

Art scholars took a field trip to Old Westbury Gardens earlier in the school year. With a camera and a notebook, the scholars wandered throughout the gardens capturing photographs and sketching ideas to develop concepts for their future art compositions. Those future art compositions were later exhibited at the art show.

“I am incredibly proud of the creativity and artistic aptitude our Westbury High School art scholars possess,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tahira DuPree Chase. “To all of our scholars who had their artwork displayed, please take a moment to appreciate this achievement. You inspire us all.”

Earlier in the school year, several Westbury Union Free School District scholars from the elementary level to high school were selected to have their artwork displayed in the Art Supervisors Association All-County Art Exhibit.

Islamic Arts Exhibit On Tap

This exhibition, “The Art of Islam: Ritual, Beauty, Patterns” is a collaboration between Westbury Arts and the Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury.

The exhibition features works by local and international Muslim artists and artisans, plus historical miniatures from the Mughal Empire. Various art forms are included, such as calligraphy, paintings, pottery, and metal works.

Traditional Islamic art emphasizes the teachings of the Quran (ritual), the exquisiteness of the world crafted by a loving Creator (beauty), and repetitive, all-over surface decoration (pattern) suggesting the infinite.

Dr. Faroque Khan of Jericho, co-chair of the art exhibition committee, stated, “Just as the religion of Islam embodies a way of daily living, this collection helps to illustrate concepts that have unified Muslims through time, space, and mode of artistic expression.”

Westbury Arts President Julie Lyon said, “Our hope is that this exhibition will allow all who visit to enjoy the art while broadening their understanding of Islamic culture.”

The exhibit will run from Saturday, Aug. 6 to Saturday, Aug. 27 at Westbury Arts, 255 Schenck Ave., Westbury. Opening reception is Aug. 6 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Exhibition continues Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
