Global Art/Local Art



Fall art season is upon us in Staten Island.

Two interesting exhibits are presently up in Snug Harbor Cultural Center.

Hanging in the hallway of Art lab, the premiere art school here, Zeke and Nancy Quinn display their photos and drawings from workshops they presented in Ethiopia. A culture obviously different than our familiar Staten Island, but the art has a similar feeling to childrens drawings in the city, a few which are also shown.


In the Newhouse Galleries next door one of the Sharp Resident artist has built the shack of Milas Mariner a squatter on the Kill Van Kull 100 years ago. The assembled boards were found along the waterway. A performance at the installation will occur on November 8.
