Join us for a special closing reception featuring a Curator’s chat with Karli Wurzelbacher and a poetry reading with Jesse Curran. Enjoy this last chance to see the exhibition and learn more about the remarkable story of artists Arthur Dove and Helen Torr. Listen to a selection of poems by Jesse Curran directly inspired by Dove and Torr’s artwork and their intimate engagement with the North Shore of Long Island. Explore the generative ways art and poetry can create connections across time. Light refreshments will be served. Â
