Jane Walentas has recently completed a 25 year, total restoration of a magnificent hand carved, 3 row, 48 horse Carousel. Made in 1922 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, the Carousel, now known as ?Jane?s Carousel,? was the first to have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It will be permanently installed in Brooklyn Bridge Park, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in an exciting pavilion designed by world renowned architect Jean Nouvel. Jane?s Carousel is scheduled to open to the public next Spring 2011. Jane worked for many years as an Art Director for Estee Lauder and has had numerous design positions on other major consumer brands. She came to New York after working for an Advertising Agency, Testa Publicita, in Torino, Italy. Originally from Teaneck, N.J., Jane graduated from Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia in 1966 with a BFA in Advertising Design and received an MFA in Printmaking from NYU in 1985. Jane serves on the Board of Directors of Moore College of Art where she has recently established a fully endowed 4 year Scholarship and International Travel Fellowship. Jane has participated with her husband David and their son Jed in the development of the DUMBO neighborhood. The Walentas? live and work (and play) in DUMBO, except on weekends when they play at their farm Two Trees Stables, a show horse and polo facility in Bridgehampton, L.I.
