Castle Biennial - 2 Years in the Waiting

Red Neck Gong by Michael Anthony Natiello
On June 17th, the Castle Gallery's "Westchester Biennial" will bid farewell to the 21 artists and their 40 works on display.  The artists themselves are as eclectic as the pieces they create. There is a former therapist, an autistic young man and a director of a Halloween extravaganza.  Ranging from their 20's thru 70's, and coming from Westchester and as far away as Japan and Slovenia, this showcase has an international feel. Created in 1998, this exhibit showcases recent works by emerging and established artists  currently living and working in the community. Now you understand why I call New Rochelle the Williamsburg of Westchester!
