As retail continues to struggle during the pandemic and stores close, what happens to the mannequins from department and clothing stores? Turns out, a New City group is turning them into art. The Daniel & Trudy Regan Foundation is hosting a 3-day Artists & Mannequins Coming Out Gala next spring or summer. For now, Foundation president Daniel Regan says their goal is to support artists throughout the tri-state area who are looking for something different to do…
Most of the mannequins come from Lord & Taylor and Modell’s, which have both closed. If you’re an artist and would like to participate, contact the Foundation at 845-323-3107.
