Are you an art collector? Two New Rochelle artists have donated special three-dimensional pieces to the Fund:
Charles Fazzino has donated a limited edition 3D fine art print created for the New Rochelle's 325th
anniversary. Fazzino is one of the most popular and highly-collected pop artists of all time. The Fund and the District look forward to collaborating with Fazzino and his team next year - stay tuned for exciting details!
David Stahl was recently featured at the Fund's Museum of Arts & Culture and his exhibit was one of our most popular. Stahl is a NRHS graduate who creates
3D pieces out of common, sometimes unrelated items, and transforms them into sculptures that are unusually complex in composition. He uses nontraditional elements such as wood, screws, nuts, and bolts, held together with hot glue. "
My emotions have always been more powerful than the words I can not say. There are infinite possibilities in creating a sculpture with all of the detailed parts in my work. The viewer may see a simple piece assembled with hot glue, or a detailed complex creation that has many possible interpretations." You have got to see David's work up close!
