Serendipity At The Williamsburg Art & Historical Center
Sometimes you walk out the door heading toward a path, a destination; with no other plans but to have a good time and to emerge yourself in culture and sometimes your path leads you toward something else. Something that you never thought would happen in a million years. I went to the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center with no other thought but to catch up on the latest cultural offerings in NYC and of course write about it for you guys; my dear readers of this blog. I of course ended up with that and a whole lot more. In this posting I will report on the cultural offerings at the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center as well as location and how to get there. In another posting located in my Art & Poetry blog page I will present an essays on my experience after I viewed the exhibit and met up with the founder of the Non-profit Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, Yuko Nii. If your really lucky your have your on experience of Serendipity. MRClueUin
The Wiliamsburg Art & Historical located in Brooklyn, New York is a combination Exhibit Hall and New York City Historical Landmark established by Yuko Nii in late 1996 based upon her bridge concept. That concept envisions a multifaceted, multicultural art center whose mission is to coalesce the diverse artistic communities, and create a bridge between local, national and international artists, emerging as well as established artists of all disciplines.

I visited the exhibit center as stated in my introduction in order to relax and emerge myself in some culture. At the latest exhibit "The Animals Look Back At Us". This exhibit showcase works of artists like Sue Coe and Isabella Kirkland in which the art features animals in different mediums, (Statues, Paintings, Video Media, and Sketch Drawing.); Sara Lynn Henry is curator of this exhibit.
"For the first time in the history of art, the animals look back at us
in art imagery. Their gaze is direct, an immediate address, a one-to-one
relationship. The animals are fully present in all their living
wholeness, vulnerability, intensity, and even ferocity. Rather than
merely there for our admiration or projected needs, they are their very
own being. The artists in this exhibition are in the vanguard of a new
movement, which by resonating with the inner life of animals, is opening
up a vital dialogue with our fellow sentient being." [WAH.net Exhibit Page, Author unknown, perhaps Ms. Henry herself?]
Afraid to tell ya'll all this readers but this wonderful exhibit ended Sunday, October 20, 2013 but please be sure to stop by the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center for other exhibits, shows, and events. You won't leave this enchanted place disappointed.
