The Arts Center at Duck Creek is pleased to present Black and White and Red All Over, a collaborative exhibition by artists Louise Eastman and Janis Stemmermann, on view in the John Little Barn from May 3 to June 8, 2025. A public reception will be held on Saturday, May 3, from 5–7 PM. This visually striking and conceptually rich exhibition brings together Eastman’s bold textile works and ceramics with Stemmermann’s evocative prints and sculptural installation. The exhibition’s title draws inspiration from the classic riddle—“What’s black and white and read all over?”—referencing newspapers, a traditional quilt pattern, and the broader themes of storytelling and cultural inheritance. Longtime friends and collaborators, Eastman and Stemmermann explore the interplay of visual language, material, and memory through a shared palette of black, white, and red.

Duck Creek’s 2025 Season is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, with additional funding from Long Island Grants for the Arts, administered by The Huntington Arts Council. Support for our Family Night Program, Music Series, and Exhibition Series also comes from the Willem de Kooning Foundation; Robert and Maryann Singer; The Singer Fund; Suffolk County Legislator Ann Welker and the Department of Economic Development and Planning—along with generous contributions from our valued community members— like you!
