11. Garment District Alliance presents The Magician’s Daughter (is a Painter)
Through September 9, the Garment District Alliance will present The Magician’s Daughter (is a Painter) — a series of paintings nestled within “magical boxes.” Created by painter and multi-media illustration artist Cheryl Parry, the free exhibit is located in a street-level window at 215 West 38th Street. Parry was inspired to create The Magician’s Daughter (is a Painter) by her father and his love for magic. Each painting in the exhibit is decorated with preserved birds, dragonflies, and nests tucked within magic boxes. The Magician’s Daughter (is a Painter) serves as part of the Garment District Space for Public Art program, which over the past 16 years has presented over 200 installations, exhibits and performances showcasing the work of artists in unusual locations across the city.
In the words of Barbara A. Blair, president of the Garment District Alliance: “Through a personal and emotional display, The Magician’s Daughter (is a Painter) brings together art and magic to create fascinating illusions.”
