HUNT SLONEM: EDEN NEVER
ENDS—NOW THROUGH MARCH 3
F o r t h e
sheer fun of it,
nothing beats
the theme of
animals in art.
This rip-roaring
show assembles
a circus parade
of the wild and
the woolly, from
the big cats (lions, tigers, leopards
and others) to sheep and bunnies,
beloved by all. The rollcall of major
talents represented in the show,
whose paintings, drawings and
sculpture have immortalized the
wild kingdom, includes many of
the top dogs in art history, such as
Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, John
James Audubon and Jeff Koons,
among many others (there are more
than a hundred works on view). As
a special treat, a lavishly colorful
installation by the world-renowned
artist and designer Hunt Slonem
transforms the elegant rooms of
the mansion into a dream-like
sanctuary for parrots, rabbits and
butterflies, his signature motifs.
CONCERT SCHEDULE—FEBRUARY
24 AT 3 P.M.
I SCHOOL CHAMBER SYMPHONY
From the popular “Carnival of
the Animals” by Saint-Saens to the
irresistible “Dumbo’s Lullaby” of
Debussy, animals feature in many
music classics. Join the I School
Chamber Symphony and its professional
soloists for a concert, featuring
the works of these composers
Vivaldi, Mussosky and others.

A Little Nostalgia
NST BROOKLYN COLLEGE
ALUMNI GROUP TO HOST
GET-TOGETHER
BY JOYCE FREED
& EDWINA KRUTICK
A little nostalgia and a lot
of curiosity led to the
creation of the Brooklyn
College Alumni Group. Two recent
emigres to North Shore Towers
from Connecticut and Roslyn,
Long Island, found a common
bond when they discovered both
had graduated from the same
school, at about the same time,
i.e. Brooklyn College in the 1950s.
As they reminisced about education,
both academic and social,
employment and family life, they

alumni, find new friendships and
see if their college experiences
were similar. With this in mind
and many anecdotes of time spent
at The Lily Pond, they are Calling
All Brooklyn College Graduates
to join them for a cup of coffee
and a taste of Brooklyn.
