Last chance to see Stephen Powers: Coney Island Is Still Dreamland (To a Seagull). Closes Sunday 8/21

Don't miss this immersive environment filled with paintings and signs created in the visual vernacular of the iconic seaside community.

This site-specific installation by artist Stephen Powers (see photo) recalls the birth of new public art in Coney Island, and the emergence of a uniquely American and wholly "Coney Island" style of painting. The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery has been transformed into an immersive environment filled with paintings and signs created in the visual vernacular of the iconic seaside community.
