"For the last several weeks a group of more than 30 artists — some well
known, like Mel Chin, Sylvia Plachy and Bronx veterans like John Ahearn

An exhibition of the pieces — organized by No Longer Empty,

to one of the city’s stranger Gilded Age palaces for the first time." (Via New York Times. Read More >>)
