Briarcliff Artist Featured in Fordham Westchester Exhibit

Fordham University’s Westchester campus in West Harrison recently transformed its lobby into an art gallery for Matters of the HeART, an art exhibit highlighting the artistic talents of Westchester residents aged 55 and older.

The exhibit ran from May 28 to June 10.

This year’s exhibit featured the works of 32 artists who ranged from professionals to hobbyists. Grant Grastorf, academic operations administrator at Fordham Westchester, said the partnership, which began when the campus first opened eight years ago, is an example of Fordham’s commitment to educating older students. A reception for the exhibiting artists was held at Fordham Westchester on June 2.
