Amy Gash and I have one more signing this year, at Manhattan’s newest independent bookstore, @fountainbookshopnyc in Washington Heights.
Get this season’s most delightful gift book. You’ll find other great books, including some quoted in our collection, plus arts and crafts by local makers, puzzles, stationery, stocking stuffers — and ice cream!
See work by 16 artists and a special exhibition of work by guest artist Soren Glassing in Cornerstone’s Gallery178. There is an Advent Fair and tree sale the same day, downstairs. Hot cider and snacks will be provided and all are welcome. (Did we mention it’s free?)
Portraiture is the cornerstone of David Antonio Cruz’s paintings. In 2019, he created a new ongoing series called Chosen Families. The artist began with a prompt: Who do you consider a part of your family regardless of biological ties? This inspired a series of paintings including some displayed in the exhibition, When the Children Come Home.
Families will join the artist as well as photographer Marcus Branch to stage their own portraits in a setting that incorporates Cruz’s work and aesthetic.
Sunday, December 15th
10:00am – 3:00pm
