Alina Wilczynski is on a mission! ✨ Motion in Light is on view now @PMLIB Claire Davidson Siegel Gallery.

Every action, thought and imagining — as energy — leaves a record, a trail of its existence, its expansion over time and its intertwining with every other action, thought and imagining.

With an inward vision, if we allow ourselves to explore what this observed light and color might look like, the act (and art) of sharing our work, our passions, our dreams takes on an entirely new form.

🗓️ Exhibit Dates: September 4 – October 26, 2024 📍 PAC Satellite exhibition space @ PMLIB Clair Davidson Siegel Gallery

Learning to Look is POSTPONED‼️ Save the date

Learning to Look is POSTPONED‼️ Save the date for December 4th @ 6:30pm as we dive into ‘The Art of Performance’ learning about the history and evolving trends of this dynamic genre! FREE, in person & on zoom. Learning to Look is presented in partnership with the Patchogue – Medford Library

Performance art is all about the actions of the artist—and sometimes others—coming to life in front of an audience. With roots in avant-garde movements like Futurism and Dadaism, it gained popularity in the 1960s and ’70s, blending with body art, conceptual art, happenings, and video art.
