Anthony Catania - "Vihreä"

“Director’s Cut 2012” is back by popular demand with a new group of
dynamic young artists.  Get a preview of what art in the new decade
may look like as the Art League of Long Island presents a talent
showcase that best represents the individual voice in the collective
from the art departments of Long Island’s colleges and universities.

To see what a new generation is thinking and doing in the realm of
visual art, fourteen colleges and university gallery directors or art
department heads on Long Island were asked to select a promising
student or recent graduate to participate in this unique exhibition.
The response was enthusiastic.

The institutions taking part are Adelphi University, Dowling College,

New York Institute of Technology, St. Joseph’s College, SUNY Old

Yale’s vibrant portraits chosen by Professor Laurie Fendrich at
Hofstra University; prints focused on intimate objects by Katarzyna
Bator for the undergraduate program and vivacious carnival paintings
representing his culture by Jaleel Akaloo representing the Masters
Program, both selected by Eliz Alahverdian, Director of Exhibitions at
Adelphi University.

The exhibit also will feature the multilayered complex textural image
by Michael Capobianco, nominated by Catherine Bernard from SUNY Old
Westbury campus and Drawings by Dan Hess chosen by Stephanie Dinkins,
the director of graduate program SUNY Stony Brook. Rounding out the
exhibition are the prints by Arianna Warner chosen by Professor Nobuho
Nagasawa for the undergraduate program at SUNY Stony Brook; the

In addition to the annual Art & Craft Fair, visitors to Cedarhurst will also enjoy the 5 art exhibition galleries of Mitchell Museum, and the beautiful lake, woods and trails throughout the sculpture park. Mt. Vernon lies at the crossroads of I-57 and I-64 and attracts visitors to the fair from southern Illinois, St. Louis, MO, Springfield, IL, Evansville, IN and Paducah, KY. Music entertainment and food concessions accompany the art fair and (according to reviews) artist hospitality keeps many artists returning to this show!
