Alumni Art Exhibit

 

The Alumni Program is opening the 2012 -2013 school year with the LFNY Alumni Art Exhibition – Art.Design.Photography.

The exhibition will run through the month of September, with an opening reception on September 5th at 6:30 p.m. in the gallery outside the Lycée auditorium. The exhibition, which is open to the public, includes over 40 pieces of artwork from 25 LFNY alumni artists.  The art on display is not for sale, but contact sheets with artists’ information will be available; so, if you want to know more about a particular artist, you will be able to contact him or her directly.
