New Rochelle long-time resident David Tobey who's a teacher at the city's Albert Leonard and Isaac Young middle schools and Director of the Middle Schools Orchestra and recipient of his MA in art from The College of New Rochelle will be exhibiting his sculpture at Rye Town Park from October 22nd through November 19th.
All readers of The New Rochelle Patch are invited to attend the opening reception party for the show, entitled "Seaside Steel" on Saturday afternoon, October 22nd from 2 to 4. Admission, parking and refreshments are free and there will be live music at the event by KirkMusic Productions' jazz quartet "The Pink and Green Cafe".
The parking entrance to the park is located at 95 Dearborn Avenue near its intersection with Forest Avenue in Rye. The sixty-two acre preserve on Long Island Sound has 28 acres of lawns and paths and 34 acres of beachfront. The foliage is predicted to be at its peak the third week in October, so this would be a great time to see it.

The New York Times has described Tobey’s art as a "synaesthetic relationship between abstraction and music . . . the connection between linear and musical rhythms.” Art in America magazine said that in his work “human drama, subconscious imagery, and a playful imagination, all coalesce” and Gallery and Studio magazine described Tobey’s sculpture as having " . . .a unique draftsmanly fluidity in metal, surpassing even that of [Julio] Gonzalez".
This is the fourth sculpture exhibit in the park since the "Art in the Park" program was started in 2008.
