Opening Reception: April 24, 2026, 1-4pm
Exhibition Dates: April 24 – May 25, 2026
‘Edges’ continues Edward M. O’Hara’s exploration of the threshold between the natural and the elemental—where surface, gesture, and environment converge. Created through direct engagement with the landscape, the works embody a sensitivity to time, contact, and the subtle forces that shape both the earth and perception.
Set along the Peconic Bay, the exhibition unfolds in dialogue with its surroundings, extending O’Hara’s practice beyond the page into a lived spatial experience.

GROUP EXHIBITION: ‘So Different, So What!’
Opening Reception: September 22, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: September 22 – November 7, 2025
A new exhibition by 9W Artists — celebrates the vitality of today’s pluralist age. Past eras like the Byzantine or Baroque may appear unified, but in truth artistic voices have always been diverse and simultaneous across time, place, and culture.
Founded in 2024 by New York artist/educator Jill Ziccardi, 9W Artists is a collective of Hudson Valley painters who bring distinct voices and visions to their work. This exhibition gathers seven of them in a show that revels in difference, questions coherence, and insists on variety as its strength.
