Oct. 25, 2023: The Bronxville Senior Citizens presented an excellent art show and lecture at the Bronxville Public Library on Sunday, October 22nd.
The program was titled the "Mary G. Turino Art Show & Lecture" in honor of long-time Bronxville resident Mary Turino, who passed away in 2017. Turino was a doer and community leader in Bronxville and, among her many accomplishments, was founding the Bronxville Senior Citizens Counsel.
The excellent speaker at the event was Kendal Henry, an artist and curator living in New York City and specializing in public art for over 30 years. Kendal has initiated many projects and programs in the United States and internationally and is a testament to public art being a tool for social engagement, civic pride, and economic development.
