2012 Artists In Residence offering presentations at Ellis Island

On Friday, July 27 from 2 to 4 p.m., the first ever Artists
in Residence at Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island will
be offering presentations about their work on Ellis Island.

The Tapestry of Immigration
Location: Ellis Island, just outside "Treasures from Home" exhibit on the
third floor, east side, of the Immigration Museum.
Debra Scacco will present her project that involves a hand loom reminiscent
of those used by immigrant women during the period her own ancestors
traveled through Ellis Island. Learn from the artist how exploring
immigration history can fuel creative endeavors and how her own immigration
story influences her art.
Learn more about her previous work at www.debrascacco.com .

Feed Me A Story
Location: Ellis Island, roving near the departure line for the New York
bound ferry
Theresa Loong and Laura Nova will collect stories about food and family
history from a refreshment cart that doubles as a media production studio.
Passing out doughnuts as Salvation Army volunteers did at the turn of the
20th Century, "Feed Me A Story" will entice the public to share sensorial
memories. By answering questions like "What's your oldest family recipe?",
"What dish reminds you of home?", "Do you have an ancestor who passed
through Ellis Island and shared a recipe with you?", the project
incorporates the quintessential immigration experience with cultural
history and contemporary influences.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
