The Garden City Historical Society recently hosted a successful reception for the artists featured in its current art show, "Garden City in Art: A Mixed Media Exhibit." The exhibit will be open to residents and visitors on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 12 noon to 5 p.m. from November 10 through November 26, at The Garden City Historical Society Museum, 109 Eleventh Street. Artworks include oils, watercolors, tempera batik, sculpture, computer graphics and photography.

The show, which has been generously partially underwritten by Astoria Federal Savings Bank, features work from residents of Garden City and non-residents who have been inspired by the beauty that surrounds us in this lovely Village. Please join us to share the artworks of:

Sue Alvey, whose paintings and drawings have graced the homes of many Garden City residents since 1980. She's a graduate of SUNY Albany with a Bachelor's in Studio Art.
