The exhibition will consist of 6 customized backdrops that were made for the San Gennaro Festival 2018 photo booth. Baxter St’s involvement in the San Gennaro Festival from September 13 to September 23, 2018 was a part of the organization’s multifaceted community program with the aim of being good neighbors and participate in a long standing tradition of community and culture.
