About
The exhibition opens Friday, May 22, 2026, with an opening reception from 5–7 PM and runs through Monday, May 25, at the North Sea Community Schoolhouse, 130 Noyack Road, Southampton, NY. Original artwork will be available for purchase.
Proceeds from art sales will support participating artists and two local organizations: the North Sea Community Schoolhouse Association, which restores and maintains the historic North Sea Community Schoolhouse Building, a long-standing community space for the North Sea Community, and the North Sea Maritime Center, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring the Historic Tupper Boathouse at Conscience Point Marina and providing educational programs for the community. Both are 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
Organized by artist Casey Chalem Anderson and event producer Luisa Esposito of Hampton House Events, the thoughtfully curated exhibition brings together a diverse collection of contemporary paintings, traditional landscapes, photography, glass sculpture, and modern art. Each medium offers its own interpretation of illumination, reflection, and transformation.
“In the Presence of Light” invites you to slow down, look more closely, and consider how light, both seen and unseen, shapes our world in profound and beautiful ways.
