Artist Kelli Glancey moved to Hoboken in 1985 to study at Parsons School of Design in NYC, where today she is a part-time assistant professor. She says that residing in Hoboken is distinctive in many ways and is so rich historically. “I am a visual person. I walk the streets daily and stare at the details of the many beautiful structures and homes, always happier when I see a place renovated rather than destroyed for new construction or high rises. This, I feel, is vital to the integrity and character of this quaint, mile square city. I have watched it change a lot since the mid-1980s but it still feels like home.”

One distinctive fixture of the Hoboken cityscape is the historic 1907 Lackawanna Terminal, the gateway to Hoboken and NYC for so many visitors and new arrivals. The terminal and its surroundings are the focus of the exhibit, “Lackawanna ~ from drawing to print” , New Works by Kelli Glancey, going on view from Nov.10 through Dec. 29 in the Upper Gallery of the Hoboken Museum. 

On display will be works in silkscreen, lithography and woodcut all based on her observational drawings as well as solarplate photo-etchings. Meet the artist at an opening reception on November 10, from 2 – 5 pm, at the Museum. 

The exhibit is supported by a block grant from the State/County Partnership program for the Arts, administered by the Hudson County Division of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.
