Birds, bees and beyond

The Lazarus Gallery of United Hebrew of New Rochelle, a campus of residences and services for older adults, is presenting a new juried exhibit, “Birds, Bees and Butterflies,” through Sept. 9. The exhibit features artwork reflecting these winged creatures that conjure visions of springtime and pollination, with a wealth of vibrant colors. The show represents more than  40 artists in such media as photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, fiber art and encaustic painting, which uses colored pigments mixed with heated beeswax.

“We are so pleased to be presenting such a beautiful exhibit for our nursing home and rehabilitation residents, family members, and visitors," said Linda Forman, vice president of community relations.  "The Lazarus Gallery is a wonderful space for inspiration and lifelong learning."

The exhibit was judged by Susan Hoeltzel, director of the Lehman Collage Art Gallery; Emily Mello, curator of the adult and academic programs at Purchase College’s Neuberger Museum of Art; and Stomu Miyazak,i an architect and chairman of the board of trustees of The Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden in North Salem.
