This project by Rob Garber, a member of the BNHG planning committee was on display at the Bloomingdale Library , December 2023 through February 2024       This project by Rob Garber, a member of the BNHG planning committee was on display at the Bloomingdale Library , September through November , 2023         Created by Rob Garber, member of the BNHG planning committee, this exhibit was on display for three months at the Bloomingdale Library, West 100th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues. One of the oldest sets of aerial photographs of Manhattan was the centerpiece of this exhibit on view from June through August, 2023. The photomosaic, six feet in length, showed an island that is both familiar and different from today's city. The exhibit also featured a challenge for visitors to the library: six unlabeled closeups from 1927 photographs that viewers could use to test their neighborhood knowledge.    On view at Happy Warrior Playground on Amsterdam Ave between 98th and 99th Streets. Sponsored by the Columbus Amsterdam BID and the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group (BNHG) Now on view until June 28, 2024, the exhibit of eight art medallions featuring local luminaries has been moved to the Happy Warrior playground on Amsterdam Ave between 98th and 99th Streets. Designed by local artist Béatrice Coron, the medallions portray musicians John Coltrane, José Feliciano and Mario Bauza; vocalist Abbey Lincoln; artist Isamu Noguchi; poet Elizabeth Acevedo; Judge Constance Baker Motley and composer Billy Strayhorn.  Coron studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Lyon and Mandarin Chinese at the University of Lyon III. Her work includes illustrations, book art, fine art and public art. Her characteristic silhouette designs are cut from paper and Tyvek. She has also created work in stone, glass, metal, rubber, stained glass and via digital media. Calling herself a “visual storyteller” , she tells stories that “are about identities and transformations or how changes are inherent to a learning process, physically, spiritually or metaphorically.” The Metropolitan Museum, the Walker Art Center and the Getty Museum all have Coron’s work in their collections. Her public art can be seen in subways, at airports, sport facilities and other locations. This is the first of three such exhibits planned for various locations over the next year.
