 A Summer of Sculpture at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine June 24th – September 10th, 2017 Greg Wyatt: The Peace Fountain & Animals of Freedom This summer we celebrate Greg Wyatt’s iconic Peace Fountain by immersing the Cathedral in sculpture. It’s been over thirty years since The Very Reverend James Parks Morton, Dean, invited Wyatt to be one of the Cathedral’s earliest Artists in Residence. Discussions between the Dean, Wyatt and the Trustees resulted in the design, casting and installation of the Peace Fountain, which has become a focal point of the campus and an integral part of the Cathedral’s identity. As we anticipate the newness of the future, we honor the Peace Fountain to underscore what abides at the Cathedral: a profound commitment to the values of peace, inclusion, dignity, love, imagination, social justice and discovery. National Sculpture Society: A Blessing of Animals The National Sculpture Society presents A Blessing of Animals, a juried exhibition of monumental animal sculpture featuring the works of 26 this country’s leading animal sculptors. Highlights include an eight-and-a-half-foot tall Grizzly bear; a Babel-like tower of frogs; ravens conversing from fence posts; a stalking bobcat; and a group of animal friends engaged in the childhood favorite, “Ring Around the Rosie.” Whether made of bronze, stone, or steel, the animal sculptures embody the diversity of talent and imagination of the participating artists. The Art Students League: Model to Monuments Retrospective Since 2010, the Art Students League of New York's Model to Monument program has trained a diverse, international group of 50 League artists in the process of creating large-scale sculpture for outdoor public spaces under the guidance of Greg Wyatt. This retrospective exhibition highlights the accomplishment of these artists by showcasing three-dimensional sculpture maquettes, which represent the students’ original designs, placed next to pictures of the finished sculptures in Riverside Park South, where the sculpture is viewed by over 200,000 annual park visitors.

ICON XXI 16 Panel - 14"x14" each, digital archival print, edition 1/4 Exhibited In collaboration with Gallery on Wade, Toronto  "Azart gallery is proud to present ULTRAMODERN, a group exhibition featuring fifteen artists. The works presented in the show are modern and urban art pieces that investigate diverse and unorthodox art techniques with a special accent on the art of portraiture. The artists will present their respective works of art and invite the viewers to explore the very term ultramodern – to ask questions about what it means exactly and how it reflects on our everyday lives. In a fast-paced world we live in, everything succumbs to convenience. Art, love, leisure, all the things people enjoy are subservient to the chase for something more, and something more usually isn’t enough." – Ana Moriarty, WideWalls Magazine  Event Hosted by: Deborah Harry, Rosario Dawson, Cynthia Rowley and Chloë Sevigny Music by Donna D’Cruz Wednesday, March 30, 2016 • 6:30–9PM Rock, Paper, Scissors is an inspiring evening of arts and entertainment hosted by Deborah Harry, Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny in support of The Lower Eastside Girls Club’s Alphabet City Art School, an innovative program for girls and young women living in poverty in New York City.

ICON XXI: Girl in Front of Computer. Self-Reflection. Archival Digital Drawing. 1/4 2015 14 x 14 Sold.  "Drawings have for centuries offered viewers the most immediate and intimate glimpse of an artist’s perception and sensitivity. From the great outlines of Renaissance masters to the more intimate sketches of the English Romantics, drawings have exerted a great appeal to collectors and art historians. Since the early 20th century, artists have made the argument that that drawings can posses inherent qualities that make them a major art form in their own right. By the 1930’s, artist were challenging ideas of line and space through the use of unconventional media, energizing the power of drawing itself. This intimate yet forceful exhibition presents an eclectic group of artists who have abandoned (or intensified) pen and pencil to create powerful expressions through line. On view will be works from the 1950’s to the present."* * From the exhibit calendar  "Police Brutality" digital drawing, from an ongoing series ICONS XXI, was purchased by The Living National Treasure Museum in Kanagawa, Japan.
