The Great Neck Library will host a summer sculpture exhibition titled "Swim or Fly" featuring works by local artist Dr. Suzanne Posner from May 1 through July 31 at the Main Library. The sculptures will be displayed atop bookshelves in the Reference Study Area, with a public reception on June 6. Posner, a direct carver with 30 years of experience working in stone, transitioned to full-time artistry after retiring from dentistry following a Parkinson's Disease diagnosis.
The exhibition highlights the library's role as a community art space and showcases the work of a local artist who overcame personal challenges to pursue her creative passion. It matters because it demonstrates how public institutions can support regional artists and make art accessible to broader audiences, while also raising awareness about artists living with Parkinson's Disease.
