WPG member artist Sunghee Pae won one of Building 110's artist residencies on Governor's Island in New York City. All 17 residents will be participating in one last open house before the end of their stay. As Pae is usually working from Korea, this is an excellent opportunity for any fans of her work to meet her and see new projects in person! Open house is: Friday, July 23, 11AM–4:30PM and Saturday, July 24 – Sunday, July 25, 11AM–6PM. Visit their website for directions and more information.

Join WPG member artist Marian Osher as she discusses her most recent Solo Exhibition, Fearless Flying.

This exhibition, first shown at Ceres Gallery in New York in May 2010, explores Osher's in-flight fascination with the textures and abstractions of the earth and clouds through colorful mixed media paintings and wall hangings, which have helped her combat her fear of flying. With honesty and humor, she also shares in writing, the personal experiences that contributed to her fear, including her 9/11 flight, as well as the various “tools” that enabled her to return to flying without fear.

Fearless Flying is on view at the Henry L. Simpson Center from June 8-September 16.
