Upcoming Exhibition
At the Station: Celebrating the Greenport Fire Department
Opening reception: Friday December 6th, 6-8 pm
On View: December 6, 2024 – January 26, 2025
At the Station: Celebrating the Greenport Fire Department (Dec. 6, 2024 – Jan. 26, 2025) embraces the tongue-in-cheek nature of the calendar. Alongside David’s photos, printed as posters you might find in a games or recreation room, the library’s gallery will be fitted out with props in keeping with such an off-duty space. Accompanying this lighthearted staging will be displays on the history of the fire department and on the brave endeavors of this all-volunteer organization, which celebrates its 180th anniversary in 2025.

Opening Reception: Friday, July 26th, 6-8 pm
On View: July 26 – September 8, 2024.
Exhibition Overview: The concept for Plant Life is that exterior vegetation has begun to infiltrate the library and grow inside the gallery/community space. Six artists/community groups are being commissioned to create works that appear to have entered through the gallery’s windows. These site-specific pieces will be accompanied by other artworks that consider the dualist relationship between the natural environment and human culture.
