We had an amazing opening for Noel Hefele's exhibit "Daylighting Tibbetts En Plein Air" -- the exhibit includes 15 watercolor paintings following the path of Tibbetts Brook as it will be brought back up into the daylight in a massive project being done by the city of New York. There is more information here on Van Cortlandt Park Alliance's website.

Thanks to everyone who came out. Thanks to Stephanie Ehrlich and Christina Taylor from VCP Alliance for speaking about the project. 

The exhibit will run through March 29th. Gallery Hours are Fridays, 2-4pm.

We had another great book club discussing And the Mountains Echoed, the third novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2013 by Riverhead Books. The book is written similarly to a collection of short stories, with each of the nine chapters being told from the perspective of a different character. The book's foundation is built on the relationship between ten-year-old Abdullah and his three-year-old sister Pari and their father's decision to sell her to a childless couple in Kabul, an event that ties the various narratives together.
