A Center Of Creativity Looks Back In Time
In celebration of its 75th anniversary, the Art Center of the 92nd Street Y presents Process and Promise: Art Education and Community at the 92nd Street Y, 1930-2005. The exhibit includes 75 works by current and former faculty members, as well as archival material and photographs detailing the center’s history. The art program was central to the vision of William Kolodney, the 92nd Street Y’s adult education director from 1934 to 1969. Kolodney believed it was imperative that the Y play a prominent role in the artistic and cultural life of New York City. Pieces by painters Elizabeth Murray and Philip Pearlstein; sculptors Louise Nevelson and Ibram Lassaw; ceramic artists Betty Woodman and Aiko Takamori; art historians Meyer Schapiro and Leo Steinberg, and one-time painter Samuel Joel (Zero) Mostel are included in the show.
92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Ave. (at 92nd St.); through June 22; call for viewing hours; free. (212-415-5500 or www.92Y.org/gallery)
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
