Art Reborn: 100 Mannequins
What was the Artist Community Doing During the COVID Crisis in the Tri-State Area?
Through the generosity of the Daniel & Trudy Regan Foundation,
please join us for the 3-day Art Reborn: 100 Mannequins Exhibition and Celebration.
This exhibition will take place at 29 Woodland Road, New City, New York on October 8th, October 9th, and October 10th, 2021 from 11 AM – 7 PM. As the title implies, artists will exhibit painted mannequins that have been retrieved from stores closed as a result of
COVID.
The Foundation’s mission is to support artists throughout the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area who have been stuck in their studios for several months during the pandemic. Over 100 mannequins will be exhibited. Art Reborn will exhibit and promote the unique talents of each artist during the 3-day event to be held in the hometown of the Foundation. Artists range from novice to world-renowned, including an accomplished Broadway set
designer.
Thus far, the following members from the community have been lined up for the event:
- The Capri Cosmetology Learning Centers, using wigs and mannequin heads, will present a history of hairstyles from the caveman era, Jacqueline Kennedy, to contemporary urban styles
- Various artists will also showcase their talents in contemporary dance, hip hop dance, and music
- An artist, Sherry Camby from Pleasantville, who has been teaching art classes via zoom during COVID will showcase 5 of her students
In addition, the Garnerville Arts Center, Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA), and the Pelham Art Center are promoting the event to their membership.
Wine, cheese, and desserts will be served over the three days.
