Fine Artist Ari Gradus, Park Slope, To Exhibit @ American Fine Craft Show @ Brooklyn Museum Nov. 19-20

Ari Gradus whose studio is in Park Slope, joins four jewelers, a furniture maker and potter, who also work in Brooklyn, and are among 90 exhibitors at the fourth American Fine Craft Show Brooklyn at Brooklyn Museum, November 19-20, 2016. The tickets to the show, in the regal Beaux-Arts Court, include general admission to the Museum.

The show is produced and curated by An American Craftsman Galleries that has supported crafts artists since 1982, longer than any other gallery in New York City, representing the work of over 500 from across the country.

Gradus’s paintings depict American and European scenes at the turn of the century in a naive, colorful style. His studio is in Park Slope and he also lives and paints in Israel where he was born in a small village. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris he completed his formal education at New York University. One of Gradus’s paintings is prominently displayed in Jerusalem City Hall where it is in the permanent collection. Another is in the entrance to Anshe Emeth Temple, New Brunswick, N.J. and in the permanent collection of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in NYC, to name just a few of his prestigious installations.

The craft show is timed for holiday shopping but not too close to Hanukah and Christmas giving visitors the treat of taking in the magnificent current and long-term exhibitions at the Museum. Concurrent special exhibitions at Brooklyn Museum include “Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty;” “Beverly Buchanan—Ruins and Rituals;” “Iggy Pop Life Class by Jeremy Deller” and a ticketed exhibition, “Who Shot Sports: A Photographic History, 1843 to the Present,” $16 at the admissions desk.
