Oysterponds Historical Society (OHS) is a cultural hub for Orient and East Marion residents and visitors. By presenting our rich repository of documents, artifacts, and experiences in exhibitions, programs, events and education, OHS seeks to preserve and strengthen that special “sense of place” that we all treasure. OHS’s 60,000+ artifacts reflect more than two centuries of North Fork life and culture and its buildings represent significant examples of local architecture. The diverse collection includes 18th, 19th, and 20th century furniture, notable maritime paintings, decorative arts, and local tools. The Museum’s substantial collection of historic documents and photographs is open to researchers by appointment. Box 70

Only two weekends left to experience this remarkable exhibition. Visit (or revisit) Barbara Bloom: The Weather before it closes on September 27th.

For this exhibition, Bloom has transformed works from the OHS collection, using seascape paintings where sea and sky are partially obscured, offering only glimpses of their drama or calm. The exhibition asks us to sit with what we can't fully see, and to imagine the rest.

****

Barbara Bloom: The Weather is made possible in part through the generous support of DG Carpentry of Long Island . Their commitment to this community makes exhibitions like this one possible, and we're deeply grateful!
