“Do we want to simply retreat to our studios and make art, or do we want to jump in and try to do something about this?”
Hysterical Coney Island is a unique, personal story of how two artists and their colleagues made an impact on the cultural life of New York City and helped pull America’s great historic amusement beach out of a nosedive. It is a chronicle of a “handmade” time in the worlds of art and amusement that will never be seen again.
Join the Coney Island Museum as we welcome authors/artists Philomena Marano and Richard Eagan to celebrate the launch of their new book, Hysterical Coney Island: An Art Memoir of the Coney Island Hysterical Society.
Books Will Be Available For Purchase
