Wallflowers Exhibit at Northwell Health, Lake Success

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.

“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.
