The program is being offered in conjunction with The Jewish Museum exhibition, From The New Yorker to Shrek: The Art of William Steig on view through March 16, 2008. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view over 190 original drawings, many of which have never before been on display. If you haven’t seen the show, I encourage you to go. It’s free on Saturdays.
I’ve written a couple of past posts about the exhibition. You can view them here, here, and here.
The Jewish Museum is located at: Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, NYC. For box office info call: (212) 423 3337.
Tickets are $15.
There are a number of interesting sidebars to the Jewish Museum‘s site for Steig fans. For example, you can hear Meryl Streep reading Spinky Sulks. Naturally, it’s as brilliant as anything this actress has done.
