PREVIEW OF EVENTS

ONGOING

NEW YORK: New York artist Olga Maryschuk's oil pastels and prints titled "My Neighborhood" are on view at the Tompkins Square Gallery of the New York Public Library during the month of June. The artist, who grew up and attended schools in the neighborhood, graduated from Washington Irving High School, and earned her B.F.A. degree from The Cooper Union. She spent many hours at the Tompkins Square Library and often played in the square's park. In appreciation of the extraordinary work of the East Village Parks Conservancy in the neighborhood in general, and in Tompkins Square Park in particular, the artist is donating a percentage of all sales to the Conservancy. The exhibit, which opened June 5, will be on view through June 30. Hours of the gallery, which is at 331 E. 10th St., between avenues A and B, are Wednesdays, 4-7 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays, 2-5 p.m. A permanent exhibition of Ms. Maryschuk's work can be seen on www.paintingsdirect.com.
DAYTON, Ohio: The work of artists Aka and Christina Pereyma is featured in a colorful, eclectic exhibition titled "Messengers From God," which opened June 7 at The Marian Library Gallery at the University of Dayton. The exhibit of 50 works by Aka Pereyma and her daughter Christina includes paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, mixed media and pysanky. Aka Pereyma's art, which draws from the rich wellspring of Ukrainian folklore, in this exhibition highlights the artist's fascination with birds and their symbolism in Ukrainian folklore. The gallery, located on the seventh floor of Roesch Library, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. The "Messengers From God" exhibition will be on view through August 6.
