The Union League Club 
For an indoor winter wonderland where it’s snowing indoors!

Simeon Lagodich and his wife Tracy Gill, of Gill & Lagodich, are two of the most distinguished gilders, framers and frame historians in the world. They not only create custom frames for collectors and for major exhibitions at museums, private collections, etc. but also craft the fabulous out of the most improbable–such as a coffee table top mosaic made from three different shades of eggshells! Tonight is an opportunity to meet the extremely talented couple, in a showcase of an outdoor painting Snow series by Lagodich, who is also an extraordinarily talented figurative painter.

Get in the spirit of the season!

The Manny Cantor Center, the Lower East Side’s new hub of wellness and community welfare, has one of the best roofs with panoramic views in all of Manhattan.
