Stop by the LGBT Center for “The Model’s Artist: An Art Exhibition & Short Film” featuring artist Zhenya Gershman and model Mark Snyder. Gershman and Snyder are the subject of a documentary film by Emmy winning documentary filmmaker Jake Gorst, which acknowledges the model as a collaborator and co-creator of the art.
In the words of executive producers Charles E. Miller and Tina Gulotta-Miller, “The artist and model relationship can be a deep one. Like two musicians improvising together, the two work in harmony, and the resulting art on canvas may often transcend the expectations of either. Artist Zhenya Gershman and model Mark Snyder have such a relationship.”
