Honors at the Bay Ridge Arts & Crafts Festival!
Anthony was "on the road" again for another display of his artistic talents. This time it was in Brooklyn, NY for the First Fall Bay Ridge Arts & Crafts Festival, which took place on October 26, 2003.
The Fall Festival was a huge success for Anthony — he sold 14 paintings! Among those sold were four of his sports watercolors, a beautiful painting of Marilyn Monroe, a wonderful painting of the Wizard of Oz characters, and many "people paintings" which capture a moment of everyday city life.
Not only did Anthony display his art work — he and wife Dorothy also distributed Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Champions of Courage brochures, and displayed copies of Jackie Waldman's book, People With MS with the Courage to Give.
Anthony brought along four copies of the Jackie Waldman book which were purchased from Red Wheel/ Weise, and two art lovers purchased copies of the book. Anthony was asked to sign the books that were purchased, and he was really flattered to be asked to autograph their books.
Next, it's on to Princeton, New Jersey, where Anthony was invited to participate in the 2nd Art First Show at the Medical Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Art First! is an International, Juried Exhibition of Art and Fine Crafts exclusively featuring Artists with Disabilities. The show will run from April 19-May 15, 2004, but submission of work for the show is due by Dec. 20, so Anthony is busy choosing six paintings for the event.
