Painter Adam Swanson talks about his recent experiences as the artist-in-residence about the Falkor tomorrow night at Beaner's Central.

About this painting, Adam writes:

My eighth and final painting aboard the glorious R/V Falkor. Working as artist in resident on the Falkor was an amazing experience I will never forget.

 

Virago opens Thursday at UWS's Kruk Gallery, an exploration of "female identity in its raw and dualistic potentialities." The show is the work of Sarah Riley, Jillian Dollars, and Chelsey Rae.
