The East End Seaport Museum will presents an artist reception for “Peconic Bay Seascapes,” an exhibition of paintings on display by North Fork artist Max Moran, on Friday, November 25, from 2 to 5 PM.
Guests are invited to join to celebrate the rich maritime culture of the East End. A portion of all sales will go directly to support the East End Seaport Museum. Moran will provide guests with a short talk on painting on the East End and the importance of preserving the regions nautical beauty at 3 PM.
Moran settled in Greenport in the 1990s and started painting the storefronts, people, ships and dockyards recording the character that made the area authentic and unique. Encouraged by other artists and new friends, he made this town his home. Over 30 years later Moran still resides and creates art on the North Fork.
According to Moran, “While selecting and sorting through the paintings many memories came back to me like messages in a bottle. The East End Seaport Museum is a place where those messages can be seen, read and experienced, providing us a history of place.”
