Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor hosts the debut exhibition of the Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons, “Making A Mark: The Art of Self Expression.” Held in collaboration with Bay Street Theater, the two-month exhibition will be on view in the lobby at Bay Street Theater starting Saturday, March 11, through May 7. An opening reception will be held Saturday, March 11, from 4 to 6 PM. The public is invited to attend.
“Making A Mark” is a celebration of self-expression and its power to encourage and inspire others to do the same. The act of creation, of self-belief, begins with making a mark. From brushstrokes to repurposed textiles, the artists in this exhibition make their mark in a dizzying array of media. From the quiet, rhythmic patterns of Sue Lawty to the striking visual storytelling of Candace Hill, “Making a Mark” presents an engaging exhibit of local and international artists sharing their artistic view of the world.
“WACH is thrilled to have this opportunity at Bay Street Theater to showcase women artists,” said Wendy Van Deusen, director of Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons. “Bay Street Theater is a vital part of the East End community that brings joy to the community with lively programs and events for people of all ages. We are grateful for this opportunity to bring visual arts to this premier performing arts venue of the Hamptons.”
“Making a Mark” features works by Adela Akers, Robin Gianis, Helena Hernmarck, Candace Hill, Tamiko Kawata, Sue Lawty, Deborah Luken, Aby Mackie, Norma Minkowitz, Alexandra Pacula, and Ulla-Maija Vikman.
“It is a great pleasure to welcome this incredible group of talented artists, and to partner with the Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons”, said Bay Street’s executive director, Tracy Mitchell. “These partnerships are what make our East End community such an exciting place to live and work.”
