African American Art exhibit at Flomenhaft Gallery, will be discussing her her
belief in artists' social responsibility and her recent activist work, including social reform efforts and public art projects in her hometown of Syracuse, N.Y.

"The responsibility of an artist is to "to make art, beautiful and powerful, that adds and reveals; to beautify the mess of a messy world, to heal the sick and feed the helpless; to shout bravely from the roof-tops and storm barricaded doors and voice the specifics of our historic moment."

Miriam Schapiro

6/24/2015

With great sorrow we must inform you that Miriam Schapiro has died at the age of 91. She and her husband Paul Brach, who died in 2007, were very loved by our gallery. We were so proud to sponsor their art. Mimi will be sorely missed, but her artistic legacy and all that she did to encourage and educate women artists will be remembered forever.

A Letter from the Director

6/5/2015

Marcia Annenberg, an artist we proudly represent, was named by Origin Magazine as one of the 100 Top Creatives in the country for 2015.

Marcia was a featured artist in our exhibit, Women Only, from December 11, 2014 - February 21, 2015. On January 28, she hosted a forum at our gallery about global warming and its threat to our planet, which I am proud to say was very well attended though a terrible snow storm blasted the city the previous day. For those of you who missed it, I am sending to you now a video of that forum. Speakers included Dr. Gavin A. Schmidt, Director of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and several wonderful artists, Jeff Carpenter, Aviva Rahmani, Simone Spicer and of course Marcia Annenberg, herself. The event was mind blowing and I hope you can sit back and enjoy it.
