In several weeks, there will be 150 mannequins and dozens of canvases made by local artists displayed on his property. All materials are paid for through Regan’s foundation that began decades ago with his wife Trudy. They bought the mannequins from big name stores that shut their doors a few years ago. The first event was a few years ago after the pandemic. He says hundreds attended then. At that time, there were 80 artists. He is now looking to add dozens more this time. Artists who want to participate should call Esmerelda at 646-499-1832. The deadline to respond is Aug. 1. "
