Light Of The Ocean
Opening: Friday, November 2, 5 to 7 PM

The show will open on Friday, November 2, with a reception for the public from 5 to 7 PM, and will run through the rest of the year, closing on Monday, December 31. The show is a dynamic, site-specific installation by Alvarado-Juárez, a New York-based American artist born in Honduras.

With the help of community volunteers and experts from Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program, the two main galleries will be turned into a magical marine environment with pathways through sand, seashells, and other organic materials indigenous to the East End, plus video projections of water and marine life, approximately 30 of Francisco’s large-scale acrylic paintings, and thousands of repurposed painted paper bags. The smell of the sea and sounds of whales enveloping the viewer’s senses will make for a transformative gallery visit.
