Once again we had a beautiful evening celebrating Steven and Terri Certilman’s amazing collection of contemporary Cuban art. We were honored to have Hector Frank, an exhibiting artist, and his wife as our special guests from Havana. Guests enjoyed Sylvia Baldini’s (Strawberry & Stage) delicious creations, wine and prosecco donated by Vista Wine & Spirits and rum donated by Van Brunt Stillhouse. Other sponsors, Picador (delicious food for the Saturday afternoon opening), FoodService Facilities International, LGE fine art consulting, HTG Investments, Premium Park, Weed & Duryea, William Pitt Sotheby’s (Lead Event Sponsor), and Karl Chevrolet (lead 2013/2014 Lead Exhibition Sponsor), contributed to the festivities.
On Saturday, May 10th at 6pm. Steven Certilman with Sandra Levinson (Director of the Center for Cuban Studies and Curator of the Center’s Cuban Art Space) will present “Understanding Cuba through its Art”. The artist Harold Lopez, an exhibiting artist, will be making a special guest appearance. To register for the lecture, please click here.
The collection will be on exhibit until June 1.
