Artist Frank Olt on display at NCMA

The Island Now

The Nassau County Museum of Art’s Contemporary Gallery is currently hosting a solo exhibition called Frank Olt: New Works, that will be on view through Sunday, Nov. 8.

As part of the Artist in the Galleries series, Olt will greet museum visitors in the Contemporary Gallery and answer questions about his work and career on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 3 to 4 p.m.

This colorful and dynamic installation of small-scale work  – abstractions formed from a unique hybrid of ceramics and painting – is free with museum admission; reservations are not needed. 

A product of New York’s minimalist tradition, Olt’s abstractions form a unique hybrid of ceramics and painting. 

A resident of Oyster Bay, the artist maintains studios in Manhattan and Oyster Bay, is a member of the art department at LIU Post and has held the post of artist-in-residence at MoMA’s famed PS 1 gallery.

Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor, just off Northern Boulevard, Route 25A, two traffic lights west of Glen Cove Road. 

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.  Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (62 and above) and $4 for students with ID and children aged 4 to 12. Members and children under 4 are admitted free.
