An Excuse for Ladies in Pearls to Hit Coney Island

Arts group Creative Time is maintaining its Coney Island presence for a second year running with its Dreamland Artist Clubhouse, a combination social club, salon, and functioning sign shop. Open Thursday through Sunday until Labor Day, the Clubhouse is dedicated to resurrecting the art of the hand-painted sign, with contributions from a global roster of art world names. "We're a club in that we're joined by craft and high-fructose corn syrup at our feet," says organizing artist Steve Powers. The key to the Clubhouse's success so far according to Powers? "Ladies in pearls love having a legitimate excuse to go to Coney Island."
