This exhibition surveys the work of NYC-based painter Paul Campbell from 1999-2019, with an emphasis on new work. Since 1998, Campbell has used remote control toys, spiky plastic balls, string, GPS tracks, and other non-conventional tools to create works that simultaneously pay homage and parody the great abstract painters of the past. He combines non-traditional and traditional painting methods to create hybrid images.

Although the works are abstract in appearance they often suggest elements of nature, fireworks, portals into some unknown world, and influences of other cultures and traditions. They represent movement and are a metaphor for connections that exist in our everyday lives.

On display March 2 – May 5, 2019

All exhibits and programs are located in the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (Buildings C & G). Admission is $5 ($4 students/seniors). Free for students grades 6-12 with student ID.

Spring – Autumn hours are Thurs-Fri 12:00 – 7:00 PM and Sat – Sun 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

In My Element is a combined show of two photographers who are separated in age by several decades but who both gravitate to capturing photos of four basic elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

Gail Middleton can always be found in solitary locations, appreciating the happenstance of nature and trying to capture a moment in time to reflect the passing beauty. Mike Shane is a kinetic searcher whose interaction with people and elements are breathtaking. Their combined images will make you think, transport you to a place of beauty and wonderment, or just capture you with an almost impossible combination of perceived movement.

Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”?

In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage you in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.

Beloved by local residents for decades prior to his December 2016 death, Foxell was known as “the unofficial mayor of Port Richmond.” On display at the arts council’s ArtSpace gallery will be Foxell’s assemblages and collage-based works, many of which reflect or satirize politics on Staten Island, as well as selected poetry, writings, film, and interviews by and with the artist. The exhibit will also include photographs of Foxell’s home that were taken by Time magazine Editor-at-Large Paul Moakley and a portrait of the artist that was painted by Robert Bunkin, a figurative painter and former curator at the Staten Island Museum.

Categorized as outsider art, Foxell’s assemblages are made from found objects such as children’s dolls and toys, buttons, action figures, plastic (and real) skulls, Asian shrines, and African figurines. Photographs and headlines cut from local newspapers make the artist’s point of view known in his more political collage-based pieces and are enlisted as titles or focal points in his assemblages, shedding some light on the intent behind his juxtapositions. Many works reflect a fascination with the dark and macabre. Others seem to mirror, and critique, pop culture, mass consumerism, and current politics. Still others explore varying states of mental health. The works were created after the events of 9/11, which Foxell witnessed firsthand in lower Manhattan.

Exhibit will run through April 27, 2019.

ArtSpace Gallery Hours are:
Thursday & Friday: 2pm – 7pm
Saturdays: 12pm – 5pm

This past fall, Snug Harbor began an exciting new master planning effort in collaboration with New York City’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of Design and Construction (DDC), and Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), referred to as our Capital Project Scope Development (CPSD). The key objective of the CPSD is to determine the scope of work, phasing, and budget necessary to address the current and future capital needs across Snug Harbor’s entire campus. We worked closely with these City agencies to develop the scope of the CPSD, focusing on visitor experience, asset preservation, infrastructure improvements, and realistic cost estimating.

Learn more in this overview.

Partnering with City agencies, we assembled a team of world-class architects, engineers, and consultants led by Marvel Architects and The LiRo Group. Our team consists of experts in fields ranging from landscape architecture, visitor experience, infrastructure, sustainability solutions, signage and wayfinding, and everything in between. The CPSD process will be complete in Autumn 2019 with a fully phased and cost-estimated 15-year master plan for Snug Harbor that will provide a roadmap for future capital requests.

The LiRo Group, our lead engineer for the CPSD, spent months on Snug Harbor’s campus digitally mapping our interior spaces. The image you see here is a preliminary excerpt from this mapping exercise, and shows “slices” cut through some of our historic buildings. This data, aside from being visually stunning, will be used in a myriad of ways to plan Snug Harbor’s future. Potential uses include marketing outreach, floor plan generation for future capital planning, programming considerations, etc. We are thrilled to have such visionary and technologically advanced resources available to us through the CPSD process.

Ghosts, by Henrik Ibsen

Production Stage Managed by Eric Rosen

Regina Paleau

Five performances only:

**Please note: There is no performance on Friday April 26th and both Sunday performances are at 2PM**

About the play:
Ghosts was Henrik Ibsen’s response to the widespread criticism of Nora in "A Doll’s House," who walks out the door, leaving her husband and children behind. "Ghosts" created even greater controversy, tackling taboo topics and questioning society's rules and conventions. It was a scathing commentary on society’s false morality and hypocrisy. In Ghosts, we see what happens to Mrs. Alving, who stayed in her marriage and paid a severe price. As in most Ibsen plays, the action has happened before the play even begins. The characters enter the play with their secrets, and revelations follow.

Jones and his wife Chris are long-time hosts of the Everyman Folk Club in Liverpool and will create that authentic British folk club atmosphere during this concert of sing-a-longs and sea shanties.

Jones is an unsurpassed singer of maritime songs and a formidable writer. He plays guitar, banjo, ukulele, and harmonica, and has recorded over thirty albums. His group The Spinners produced many popular albums and BBC television specials.

This concert is dedicated to the memory of Marilyn Christensen, whose husband Jan is an active participant in the museum’s monthly Sea Shanty Sessions, led by the Folk Music Society of New York.

The concert is free, but donations are always appreciated.

In this irreverent, touching and wickedly funny play by Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under and True Blood and screenwriter of American Beauty, five very different bridesmaids bond while hiding out in an upstairs bedroom during a dysfunctional wedding reception and discover just how much they have in common – and at least one of them finds love.

Public Opening Reception
Saturday, April 13, 12pm-2pm

Naturalist Ray Matarazzo and historian Tina Kaasmann-Dunn will co-lead a free walk and lecture from 4485 Hylan Blvd., the Kaasmann House, to the shoreline. Tina will discuss Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. Olmsted is the father of American landscape architecture. He lived in Eltingville from 1847 to the 1850s. Ms. Kaasmann-Dunn will also discuss John Hales who was born in London in 1852. A sugar exporter, he came to New York in 1882, and settled in Eltingville where he bought the Olmsted House for rental purposes. Join us and learn how our fascinating local history has reached across the globe. The walk will continue to the beach where Ray Matarazzo will discuss the natural history of the shoreline community. If driving to the site, park on nearby Hales Avenue or the Woods of Arden Avenue. Email olmstedbeilhouse.@gmail.com for more information. This walk is free of charge and sponsored by the Friends of the Olmsted-Beil House. In the event of rain the walk will occur at 12 noon on Sunday, May 5, 2019.

"The Wu-Tang Clan came from a neighborhood everyone had given up on, and they turned their experiences into a global experience. Their message has resonated with people around the world, and this weekend, we will pay tribute to them. Join us Saturday to officially rename the corner of Targee and Vanderbilt as the Wu-Tang Clan District."

This exhibition surveys the work of NYC-based painter Paul Campbell from 1999-2019, with an emphasis on new work. Since 1998, Campbell has used remote control toys, spiky plastic balls, string, GPS tracks, and other non-conventional tools to create works that simultaneously pay homage and parody the great abstract painters of the past. He combines non-traditional and traditional painting methods to create hybrid images.

Although the works are abstract in appearance they often suggest elements of nature, fireworks, portals into some unknown world, and influences of other cultures and traditions. They represent movement and are a metaphor for connections that exist in our everyday lives.

On display March 2 – May 5, 2019

All exhibits and programs are located in the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (Buildings C & G). Admission is $5 ($4 students/seniors). Free for students grades 6-12 with student ID.

Spring – Autumn hours are Thurs-Fri 12:00 – 7:00 PM and Sat – Sun 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

In My Element is a combined show of two photographers who are separated in age by several decades but who both gravitate to capturing photos of four basic elements of earth, air, fire, and water.

Gail Middleton can always be found in solitary locations, appreciating the happenstance of nature and trying to capture a moment in time to reflect the passing beauty. Mike Shane is a kinetic searcher whose interaction with people and elements are breathtaking. Their combined images will make you think, transport you to a place of beauty and wonderment, or just capture you with an almost impossible combination of perceived movement.

Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”?

In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage you in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.

Beloved by local residents for decades prior to his December 2016 death, Foxell was known as “the unofficial mayor of Port Richmond.” On display at the arts council’s ArtSpace gallery will be Foxell’s assemblages and collage-based works, many of which reflect or satirize politics on Staten Island, as well as selected poetry, writings, film, and interviews by and with the artist. The exhibit will also include photographs of Foxell’s home that were taken by Time magazine Editor-at-Large Paul Moakley and a portrait of the artist that was painted by Robert Bunkin, a figurative painter and former curator at the Staten Island Museum.

Categorized as outsider art, Foxell’s assemblages are made from found objects such as children’s dolls and toys, buttons, action figures, plastic (and real) skulls, Asian shrines, and African figurines. Photographs and headlines cut from local newspapers make the artist’s point of view known in his more political collage-based pieces and are enlisted as titles or focal points in his assemblages, shedding some light on the intent behind his juxtapositions. Many works reflect a fascination with the dark and macabre. Others seem to mirror, and critique, pop culture, mass consumerism, and current politics. Still others explore varying states of mental health. The works were created after the events of 9/11, which Foxell witnessed firsthand in lower Manhattan.

Exhibit will run through April 27, 2019.

About the play:
Ghosts was Henrik Ibsen’s response to the widespread criticism of Nora in "A Doll’s House," who walks out the door, leaving her husband and children behind. "Ghosts" created even greater controversy, tackling taboo topics and questioning society's rules and conventions. It was a scathing commentary on society’s false morality and hypocrisy. In Ghosts, we see what happens to Mrs. Alving, who stayed in her marriage and paid a severe price. As in most Ibsen plays, the action has happened before the play even begins. The characters enter the play with their secrets, and revelations follow.

Tickets:
$22 General Admission
$20 Students/Seniors

Beloved by local residents for decades prior to his December 2016 death, Foxell was known as “the unofficial mayor of Port Richmond.” On display at the arts council’s ArtSpace gallery will be Foxell’s assemblages and collage-based works, many of which reflect or satirize politics on Staten Island, as well as selected poetry, writings, film, and interviews by and with the artist. The exhibit will also include photographs of Foxell’s home that were taken by Time magazine Editor-at-Large Paul Moakley and a portrait of the artist that was painted by Robert Bunkin, a figurative painter and former curator at the Staten Island Museum.

Categorized as outsider art, Foxell’s assemblages are made from found objects such as children’s dolls and toys, buttons, action figures, plastic (and real) skulls, Asian shrines, and African figurines. Photographs and headlines cut from local newspapers make the artist’s point of view known in his more political collage-based pieces and are enlisted as titles or focal points in his assemblages, shedding some light on the intent behind his juxtapositions. Many works reflect a fascination with the dark and macabre. Others seem to mirror, and critique, pop culture, mass consumerism, and current politics. Still others explore varying states of mental health. The works were created after the events of 9/11, which Foxell witnessed firsthand in lower Manhattan.

Exhibit will run through April 27, 2019.

ArtSpace Gallery Hours are:
Thursday & Friday: 2pm – 7pm
Saturdays: 12pm – 5pm

Join us for the opening of our newest exhibition! Inspired by John A. Noble’s preference for printmaking, this exhibition of antique and contemporary art—including pieces from the newly acquired collection of historian Barnett Shepherd—surveys the history of prints and the differences amongst various mediums, including etchings, engravings, lithographs, mezzotints, and photogravures.

This exhibition opening is a free event and will be on view through January 2020.

Valley Seed Company, documentary videos of Staten
Island gardeners by Jay Weichun, photograms of local
flora by Gale Wisdom, and museum botanical specimens
selected by the Greenbelt Native Plant Center. These four
projects explore the cultural, artistic, and scientific impact
of collecting plant life. In doing so, they reveal narratives of
resilience, fragility, and transformation. Field Notes speaks to
the heritage embedded in the flora around us.

Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”?

In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage you in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.

Spring – Autumn hours are Thurs-Fri 12:00 – 7:00 PM and Sat – Sun 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

Written by Reginald Rose, this gripping drama brings us into the jury room of a murder trial, where the 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused. As the dozen men try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one young man's fate.

Heal the Man in order to Heal the Land explores how spirituality manifests itself out of the connections between internal experience and the material world. How can we connect with nature in a society that continues to give primacy to disposability and mass-consumption? How do we move away from a mindset of scarcity to one of collaboration? How can we be transformed from the egocentric “i” to the love supreme “I AM”?

In this work, artist Tattfoo Tan uses participatory prompts, games and affirmations to engage you in the play of the universe. Let the process begin.

Spring – Autumn hours are Thurs-Fri 12:00 – 7:00 PM and Sat – Sun 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM.

All exhibits and programs are located in the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art (Buildings C & G). Admission is $5 ($4 students/seniors). Free for students grades 6-12 with student ID.

Beloved by local residents for decades prior to his December 2016 death, Foxell was known as “the unofficial mayor of Port Richmond.” On display at the arts council’s ArtSpace gallery will be Foxell’s assemblages and collage-based works, many of which reflect or satirize politics on Staten Island, as well as selected poetry, writings, film, and interviews by and with the artist. The exhibit will also include photographs of Foxell’s home that were taken by Time magazine Editor-at-Large Paul Moakley and a portrait of the artist that was painted by Robert Bunkin, a figurative painter and former curator at the Staten Island Museum.

Categorized as outsider art, Foxell’s assemblages are made from found objects such as children’s dolls and toys, buttons, action figures, plastic (and real) skulls, Asian shrines, and African figurines. Photographs and headlines cut from local newspapers make the artist’s point of view known in his more political collage-based pieces and are enlisted as titles or focal points in his assemblages, shedding some light on the intent behind his juxtapositions. Many works reflect a fascination with the dark and macabre. Others seem to mirror, and critique, pop culture, mass consumerism, and current politics. Still others explore varying states of mental health. The works were created after the events of 9/11, which Foxell witnessed firsthand in lower Manhattan.

Exhibit will run through April 27, 2019.

ArtSpace Gallery Hours are:
Thursday & Friday: 2pm – 7pm
Saturdays: 12pm – 5pm

In the world where Masculine force dominates our day to day life, we are seeing the destruction from the unbalanced expression on humanity. Many teachers have been talking about the time of transition - from the Masculine to the Feminine, which is evident in the rise of feminine qualities seen in many facets.

This talk will explore and meditate on how this relates to our lives, and this ultimately is one of the most critical ways for us to live harmoniously on this planet.

Driven by her passion for understanding powers in all things, and her struggle with depression and chronic physical ailments, Aki Baker of MINKA brooklyn has studied various healing modalities such as Ayurvedic Medicine, Integral Hatha Yoga, meditation, Essential Oils, Bach & FES flower essence, Reiki and other forms of energy healing practices. Her body, mind and soul have been very happy with one another for several years though these practices. In this current life time, she is a Flower Essence Therapist, energetic healing practitioner, Reiki master, meditator, community activist, food lover, healing & spiritual guide, artist, serial business owner, urban farmer, domestic violence survivor, mother to Saya, Shintaro & San, and wife to Ronald.

Created and performed by Londs Reuter and friends, Private Inventory or No Health Insurance is athinking, moving, and writing-it-down practice that looks more at what choreographs us than what we choreograph. Private Inventory attempts to translate non-verbal, embodied self-knowledge acquired through dancing into written record. From movement practices, we generate writings, surveys, anecdotes, and charts to map out the particularities and generalities of a dancing body. Private Inventory or No Health Insurance assumes that there is no normative body and that we’re all carving out unique ways of moving through the world at all times.

It’s been said that Dennis Miller is “One of the premiere comedy talents in America today…” While others are blunt assessing Miller’s comedic stature, Dennis himself makes a virtue of understatement, but there is nothing low key about his career.

As Miller is on tour preparing for his new special, you can hear Dennis ranting on his twice weekly podcast “The Dennis Miller Option” (PodcastOne!) or his twice daily syndicated, 60-second radio feature “The Miller Minute.” He was recently featured as a lead ranking comedian by the Hollywood Reporter via social media analytics.

Miller is a five-time Emmy award winner for his critically acclaimed half-hour, live talk show “Dennis Miller Live” which had a nine-year run on HBO. Miller also garnered three Writer’s Guild of America Awards for the series as well as an additional WGA Award for his 1997 HBO special, “Dennis Miller: Citizen Arcane.” He also wrote and starred in the Emmy-nominated cable comedy special “Raw Feed.” That show, along with the six other standup specials he did for HBO from 1988-2006, are featured in the DVD Box Set, “Dennis Miller: The HBO Specials.” This was followed by Dennis’ eighth special for HBO “Dennis Miller: The Big Speech” in 2010. His most recent stand up special is “Fake News, Real Jokes,” released by Comedy Dynamics in November 2018.

Dennis has also achieved success in the literary arena with four books, “I Rant Therefore I Am,” “The Rants,” “Ranting Again,” and “The Rant Zone” have all been New York Times best sellers. For two seasons, Miller called the plays alongside Al Michaels and NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts on ABC’s “Monday Night Football.” He was also the “Weekend Update” correspondent on “Saturday Night Live” for six years, before exiting in 1991.

Fans remember Dennis’ Westwood One Radio talk show “The Dennis Miller Show” as well as him on “The O’Reilly Factor” and as host and executive producer of CNBC’s “Dennis Miller,” a topical interview talk show featuring reasoned discourse, opinion and humor. Dennis has also appeared in such films including “Disclosure,” “The Net,” “Murder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue” and “What Happens in Vegas.”

Over the years, Miller has become both a public and critical favorite. The New York Times said, “Mr. Miller is exquisitely attuned to contemporary foibles…his material can be scathing, his delivery low key…Mr. Miller reaches a bit farther than most comedians for the scorching comment…this smart aleck has an uncommonly sharp eye…” and The Hollywood Reporter called his most recent special, “an hour of topical, scathing brilliance that helps cement Miller’s status as the Lenny Bruce of the new millennium…the most cerebral, astute and clever standup ever to put mouth to microphone.”

Dennis is an active member of the Montecito community where he lives with his wife of 30 years, home designer Carolyn and has raised two millennial sons.

Photographs and headlines cut from local newspapers make the artist’s point of view known in his more political collage-based pieces and are enlisted as titles or focal points in his assemblages, shedding some light on the intent behind his juxtapositions. Many works reflect a fascination with the dark and macabre. Others seem to mirror, and critique, pop culture, mass consumerism, and current politics. Still others explore varying states of mental health. The works were created after the events of 9/11, which Foxell witnessed firsthand in lower Manhattan.

Exhibit will run through April 27, 2019.

On view through September 2019The Alice Austen House presents 'Stonewall at 50', an exhibition by artist Collier Schorr. 15 intergenerational portraits of LGBTQ+ activists and artists, celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. This project, generated by partnerships made in the Stonewall 50 Consortium, an organization committed to producing programming, exhibitions, and educational materials related to the Stonewall uprising and/or the history of the LGBTQ civil rights movement, brings together participants of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising with activists who have followed in their footsteps.

As part of the heady New York art world of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Collier Schorr’s early work mined the vernacular of postmodernism to create photographs that toe the line between documentary and fiction. Often using her subjects allegorically, Schorr’s work navigates the auspices of identity politics to ask beguiling questions about the nomenclature of selfhood. By introducing autobiographical referents and post-appropriation aesthetics into her practice, Schorr’s ongoing body of work negotiates the fluid nature of authorship and performance in relation to portraiture.
