Ask the Experts: “Hysterical Coney Island: An Art Memoir of the Coney Island Hysterical Society.” with Philomena Marano and Richard Eagan

Suggested Donation* - $5 *The Museum is located on the second floor, and is not wheelchair-accessible at this time. “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 *Admission Free for CIUSA members and residents of 11224 Your $5 donation supports the Coney Island Museum, including our Ask the Experts programs. Coney Island USA reserves the right to cancel an event at any time.
