{"url":"http://www.nycgovparks.org/events/2026/10/08/author-talk-with-david-rocco-fireboats-of-the-fdny"}

For the last century and a half, FDNY fireboats have played a vital role in protecting New York City’s waterfront. On Thursday, October 8, the Bayside Historical Society welcomes author and photographer David Rocco for an illustrated presentation exploring the history and evolution of these remarkable vessels.With more than 500 miles of shoreline, New York City has long relied on specialized fireboats to respond to fires along the waterfront and aboard ships. Using historic photographs and images, Rocco will trace their development from the early wooden-hull tugboats to the highly specialized vessels that serve the city today.Rocco has been involved in numerous historic preservation and cultural projects throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City. In 2023, he prepared the successful nomination that placed the retired FDNY fireboat John D. McKean on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. He currently serves as Vice President of the Fireboat McKean Preservation Project.The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and book signing.Admission is $10 for BHS members and $15 for non-members. Purchase tickets on the BHS website: https://www.baysidehistorical.org/events-1/author-talk-with-david-rocco-fireboats-of-the-fdny.This event is part of Bayside Historical Society's Author Talk at the Castle Series.

Featuring work by: Erin Butler, Linda Butti, Mary Campbell, Lisa Dahl, Griselda Healy, Craig Manister, Ann Marie McDonnell, Mike Shane, Gayle Tanaka, Martha Trivizas. Celebrating Snug Harbor’s longstanding studio program, where artists in residence create new work within its historic buildings, PROXIMITY explores the studio as a generative space: artists working near one another across space, time, and relationship. Spanning painting, photography, and mixed media, PROXIMITY is not defined by a shared aesthetic, but by a condition of closeness. Here, proximity becomes more than a matter of place—it becomes a context through which individual practices develop, intersect, and inform one another.  When: October 2 - December 13Fridays & Saturdays, 12:00 PM-7:00 PM | Sundays, 11:00 AM- 5:00 PMWhere: Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Main Hall Gallery, Building C  (View Site Map and Directions)Admission:$5.00 – General Admission$4.00 – Students/SeniorsPlease note: On October 16, we will host an opening reception for PROXIMITY from 6-8 PM. Visiting during those hours will be free. Please RSVP to the reception here: https://snug-harbor.org/event/proximity-opening-reception/ PROXIMITY is made possible through generous support from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation.
