This exhibit features a sampling of work from all the courses offered at NSHAHS! Art reception: Monday, November 7 at 5:30 p.m. 

The study of art is the exploration of human creativity. Art students leave the classroom not only with an appreciation of art, but also with a sense of empowerment because they have learned to become creative, original thinkers. Students see, feel, think, make aesthetic choices, explore a variety of media and self-evaluate as part of the studio experience. Higher level courses explore diverging interests. The search for original concepts, the integral development of technique and observational skills, and the cultivation of a respect for the elements of art and principles of design all foster a sense of limitless artistic possibilities for our students.

OPENING RECEPTION: 
Saturday, December 10
2:00-4:00PM

This exhibit showcases works by Great Neck artists Bari Fagin & Marty Fagin. Bari’s prints and Marty’s pottery
are unique explorations of layered colors, textures and images. They encourage the viewer to look beyond
the surface of their pieces to discover the unique worlds beneath.

Before becoming a retiree, Bari Fagin had an extensive career in publishing and advertising art direction with various Fortune 500 companies. Her focus on mixed media printmaking aims to draw the viewer into the depths of a unique world. By layering a variety of mediums, including paint, pencil, collage, and multiple photo transfers, each mixed media piece explores and blurs the boundaries of combining printmaking, painting, drawing, and collage. Bari has also juried and exhibited at the Art Guild of Port Washington and Long Island Craft Guild.

Marty Fagin is a retiree whose pottery often begins with a general concept of what the project will look like and evolves as he creates, taking each piece on a journey and each down many roads with different results. Marty has also exhibited at Soho, the Gold Coast Arts Centre and the Long Island Craft Guild.

Join Miss Kat in person at the Parkville branch for a discussion of The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera. Copies of the book will be provided while supplies last. 

This program is for children in grades 6 to 8. 

Registration for this program will begin on Saturday, November 12 at 10a.

"Había una vez . . .

There lived a girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita.

But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children – among them Petra and her family – have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race.

Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet – and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard – or purged them altogether.

Petra alone now carries the stories of our past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again?"

Do you have something that is old and unusual, perhaps even bizarre? How many times have you thought that it might have some value?

Join us for an in-person screening of The Unimaginable Journey of Peter Ertel and a virtual Q&A with the Director.

Movie Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsUPHE_Rp0

In the midst of great evil it is the courageous man or woman who refuses to succumb, and Peter Ertel was one such man. Forced to serve in the German army despite his open contempt for the Nazis and his refusal to kill the enemy, Ertel would not only miraculously survive World War II but would also be regarded as family by his Jewish employers. THE UNIMAGINABLE JOURNEY OF PETER ERTEL is a riveting, award-winning account of the life of a man who defied insurmountable odds in an unforgiving environment and who later found peace in America. This film combines archive footage – much of which has never before been shown – with Ertel’s own brave telling of his extraordinary odyssey.  A true story so bold, brave, and beautiful it will restore your faith that humanity can survive even the darkest of days.  Winner of the "David Ponce Best of the Fest Award" at the 2017 Chagrin Documentary Film Festival, the "Founders' Choice Award" at the 2016 G.I. Film Festival, and the "Local Heroes Competition" at the 2017 Cleveland International Film Festival.
