Pathways and Shadows

Pathways and Shadows

Join us for the opening of Pathways and Shadows by Diana Naccarato

at the Hendrick I. Lott House on Saturday, May 4, 2024!

Artist Diana Naccarato’s pieces are influenced by long walks in the coastal areas of Sardinia, Italy, the coastline of southern Brooklyn, and the salt marshes of Marine Park, Brooklyn. As she walks through the coastal areas, she pulls from the movement within the nature around her, like the reeds swaying or the waves crashing, returning to her studio to create abstractions from those sketches and photographs.

Join us for an artist talk with Diana about her work. You'll also get a chance to walk around the Lott House lawn and take a closer look at the artwork. 

This event is free to the public, and registration is required. This event is for 18+ adults.

Click Here to read the press release.

Please note the interior of the Lott House will not be accessible to the public.

This event is made possible through funding from NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, City Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse, and NYS Assemblyperson Jamie Williams. This even is sponsored in part by Millennium Development.
