For those making their way to NY, they have a chance to see some wonderful Greek artists at the Onassis Cultural Center.

The art of 15th century Crete lands in New York today with the opening of “The Origins of El Greco: Icon Painting in Venetian Crete” at the Onassis Cultural Center on Fifth Avenue. The exhibit focuses on works of Greek artists such as Domenikos Theotokopoulos (”El Greco”) and those that toiled alongside him in creating some of the seminal pieces of religious art from that time. – From WSJ
