"Nature Sign" finally got its shingles!
We have posted a few shots of this collaborative work by Laura Ten Eyck and Ted McGurn.

Also, we wanted to show the progress of the "garden" of Junior One Bedroom. The pumpkins are coming along nicely and hopefully will be ready for harvest when the exhibition closes in October.

Peconic River Day Event - June 27, 2009

The weather cooperated on Saturday for the inaugural River Day event on the Peconic River. It was hot and the sun was blazing during the delicious cook out, boat launch, performance and poetry reading events at art sites gallery. Jose Krapp and Sheila Ross launched original artist boats. Ted McGurn paddled about in his canoe.
