A new generation of artists will show their work tonight in Downtown Manhattan. While their styles vary widely, the artists have one thing in common: They’re all at least 60 years old.
Fira Shvarts, 68, has been taking classes in Brighton Beach through JASA since 2019, and will be among the artists making their gallery debuts.
“How many Marc Chagalls do you know?” asked Shvarts, explaining her family’s rationale. She says she understood why her parents pushed her to study engineering even though she thought it could sound cruel. Allister Wesson, JASA's chief development and communications officer, says the first art show was held in September 2019 as a way to celebrate the community's talent. It was a success, but then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, derailing plans for future events – until now.
