Wallflowers Exhibit at Northwell Health, Lake Success
October 16, 2018 – April 28, 2019
Closing Reception April 28, 3-5 pm
This exhibit features most of the works from the Wallflowers Exhibit which was on view in the galleries at Elderfields in September 2018. The exhibit focuses on the beauty of flowers – from big lush peonies and perfect roses to the smallest snowdrops and dandelions, few things evoke more memories or encompass more symbolism. We long for the first flowers of spring in our gardens and they commemorate special occasions and holidays throughout the year. Artists depicted rolling meadows, formal gardens, a single bud in a vase or enough to fill a room.
The Art Guild and Northwell Health invite the public to the closing reception for the Wallflowers Exhibition on Sunday, April 28, from 3:00-5:00 pm at Northwell Health’s new Center Street Hallway of the Center for Advanced Medicine, 450 Lakeville Road, Lake Success, NY. The reception is free and open to the public. The exhibit, on view since October 16, 2018, will close on April 28.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring a little color and joy to the patients, their loved ones and the hardworking staff at Northwell Health.” said The Art Guild’s Executive Director, Lisa K. Grossman. “We hope that everyone, including Northwell’s medical and administrative staff, will join us for this reception.”
The exhibit, features 76 artworks by 52 artists, adds cheer and color to the hallway with a virtual garden of beautiful blooms, buds and blossoms in a variety of mediums. Artists included in the show are: Margaret Andres, Diane Bares, Katrina Benson, Caryn Coville, Aleta Crawford, Christine D’Addario, Kathy D’Amato-Smith, Anahi DeCanio, Maryanne Driscoll, Patty Eljaiek, Simon Fenster, Phyllis Gildston, Jill Gleicher, Mayra Guillen, Heather Heckel, Lois Hellman, Susan Herbst, Susan R.

Best of The Art Guild 2017-2018
July 21 – August 25
The art has been picked up from our very successful Members Showcase and we realized – Oh, no! The walls are bare! – and we HATE bare walls!
Award winners of The Art Guild’s exhibitions from September 2017-June 2018 are invited to be a part of a special exhibit: The Best of The Art Guild, which will be on view from July 21 through August 26.
Please bring a piece of your artwork on any of the following days:
• July 9, 11 or 12, 9 am – 3 pm
• July 13 – 15, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
• July 16 – 20, 9 am – 3 pm
The work may be new (it won’t count as “previously exhibited at The Art Guild” for future exhibits) or may have been shown at The Art Guild in the past. Artwork should be no bigger than 36” in any direction.
Good afternoon everyone,
We regret to tell you that we are unable to hold the reception for The Best of The Art Guild on Sunday, August 26. As you know, parking is a premium here at Elderfields and we were unable to secure a parking waiver for the boulevard. The gallery will be open from 1-5pm. We apologize for the change in plans and hope that things will work out better next year.
Pick up for “Best of” and drop off for “Wallflowers” will be from 3-5pm on Sunday, August 26, and 5-7 on Monday, Aug 27.
