Tour | Brooklyn Heights Tour


Known as America's first suburb, Brooklyn Heights is truly a gem. Travel and Leisure named it one of America's top 10 most beautiful neighborhoods, and its beauty is rivaled only by its place in American history. These quaint, tree-lined streets have been the sites of Revolutionary War battles, abolitionist activism and have inspired numerous novelists. Visit a stop on the Underground Railroad, or the home of Truman Capote, where he penned Breakfast at Tiffany's and where Jackie Robinson signed with the Dodgers.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Sarah Szczesny's Who Framed Sarah Szczesny?


Cologne-based artist Sarah Szczesny's highly detailed and intricately fabricated works are driven by the ongoing exposure of the ambiguous conditions of painting's materiality, the medium's interferences and restraints in relation to other fields of artistic production, and a general distrust of hierarchies and hasty categorizations.

Opening Reception | Photographs: Yishay Garbasz's Ritual and Reality


Working across themes of memory, history, separation, and healing, Garbasz consistently captures both the pain of injury and the desire for reconciliation through her camera lens.
