Looking at Superstorm Sandy through an artist’s eyes
Exhibition highlights storm survivors
With the first anniversary of superstorm Sandy approaching, the Brooklyn artistic community is marking the milestone with a special 100,000-square foot exhibition in a Sunset Park gallery featuring the works of more than 300 artists who were hit by the hurricane and then inspired by it.
Superstorm Sandy hit New York City on Oct. 29, 2012, killing 44 people, destroying thousands of homes in shore-front communities, rendering the subway system inoperable for days and upending thousands of lives. Yet, the hurricane also served as the inspiration for great art.
