Other local artists joining in the tribute will be Monica Watson, Helen Antholis, Dana Cohoon, Harriet Cook, and Andrea Tarr. You're invited to a Meet The Artist Reception on Thursday, September 11th from 5 - 7 pm. the free exhibit will continue on display on the Lincroft main campus at the BAC (Business Administration Center near parking lot 3) first floor lobby location from September 11 - 29.
Gary's powerful and emotional documentary interviews residents who were in the Twin Towers as it was hit and the first responders who placed their lives in jeopardy during the clean-up effort. Dan Sakowski was in the South Tower when the North Tower was hit. Mark Charles Giles tried to save a man's life on the Mezzanine level as the Towers almost came down on him.
The interviews were recorded at the Mount Mitchell Scenic Overlook in Atlantic Highlands, which is the site of the 9/11 memorial overlooking NYC. Following the tragedy, Veronica Yankowski went to NYC to photograph the aftermath. She was escorted by Port Authority officers to Ground Zero to take pictures of what was left of the World Trade Center where she documented the work of police officers and firefighters working 24 hours a day in search of survivors. She will be exhibiting a collage of photos taken immediately after and during the week following the disaster. Viewing hours will be 8:30am - 5pm. For more information, call 732-224-2746.
