Steckler wows arts critic

Charles Steckler's Grotto with Snowman sculpture was one of 71 pieces showcased recently in the 2005 Exhibition of Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region at the Albany Institute of History and Art. Remarking that Steckler "has wowed the Capital District for years with his work at Union College," Metroland's reviewer called Grotto "the only solace I found in the sculptural terrain." The juried show is among the longest running regionals in the country.
