Featured Artists Exhibit for December/January 2018

Featuring Peter filene & Barbara TyrolerSHOW WILL RUN FROM DECEMBER 11TH-FEBRUARY 2ND
We will be opening our doors on December 11th with a new exhibition featuring the work of FRANK member artists Peter Filene and Barbara Tyroler. Though both artists are photographers, each works with their medium to represent their subjects in a distinctive and painterly way.

Join us on December 15th from 5-6pm for a reading with authors Samia Serageldin and Lee Smith from their upcoming anthology Mothers & Strangers, in collaboration with portraiture from the photographic exhibition Mothers, Daughter, and the Writing Life. Following the reading will be the opening reception from 6-9pm for Peter Filene and Barbara Tyroler. The band Red Nucleus will be performing and refreshments will be provided.

On January 19th from 2:30-4pm we will be having a dramatic reading and discussion lead by historian and photographer Peter Filene one of our featured artists for January. Peter recently wrote and published “Striving Fathers, Troubled Sons” which “dramatizes the history of manhood-making in America through the intimate narratives of seven families: the Adamses; the Rockefellers; Woodrow Wilson and his father; journalist Lincoln Steffens and his son; painters N.C. and Andrew Wyeth; literary critic Alfred Kazin and his immigrant father; and writer James Baldwin and his two fathers.”

Barbara Tyroler will also be present to discuss her collection of portraiture of authors in collaboration with the upcoming anthology “Mothers & Strangers.” Light refreshments will be provided.
