Introducing: 𝐍𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞

Founded by Jenn Cacciola (Co-Founder of former exhibition & studios space, Ice Cream Social), Neptune in June continues the curatorial and community project begun at Ice Cream Social. Our two-fold mission focuses on both supporting emerging artists seeking connection to the larger contemporary art dialogue, while bringing meaningful conversations to the Port Chester community that are in tune with local culture. We curate exhibitions locally and across the U.S., in addition to offering workshops, performances, and other public events in partnership with fellow art spaces and community service groups.

🛸 Be sure to follow our new account here of FB and Instagram (.ny), and subscribe for email updates on our site!

Neptune in June operates as an open, living question that asks what it means to consider oneself part of a community in its wholeness, perenniality, and history. In the same breath, we validate genuine curiosity and fascination with something new, when deepened through embedded, sensorial, and cognizant experiences.

Join us on June 1st for the reception of the first exhibition under the new name! The opening will coincide with the 2nd-Annual 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹, which we are proud to be co-organizing again this year in partnership with Clay Art Center. The festival provides free arts programming at art spaces and venues across town, including exhibitions, open studios, workshops in art/dance/theatre, artist booths, public art initiatives, displays & performances by local students, raffle baskets, and more.

As always, big thank-you to Brandon Adrover (IG: .tecun) for all the operation & install support along the way 🛠

Join us for a live music performance and closing reception for 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 on January 20th (7-9 PM) at Miranda Arts Project Space!

The solo show by Margaret Pinto explores the theme of armored bodies, investigating the relationships between fear, protection, vulnerability, and violence. Visual reference is drawn from medieval armor, riot gear, cages, and fencing, as well as myriad forms of armor in the natural world such as crab shells, thorns, and insect casings. This work simultaneously celebrates and interrogates the outer shell as a potent metaphor for emotional states of separation from our environment.

Sneak peek at some of the ceramic armor that will be joined by paintings and mixed-media sculpture in Margaret Pinto's fantastical solo, 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙, opening at Miranda Arts Project Space December 8th (7-9 pm)!

𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 explores the theme of armored bodies, investigating the relationships between fear, protection, vulnerability, and violence. Visual reference is drawn from medieval armor, riot gear, cages, and fencing, as well as myriad forms of armor in the natural world such as crab shells, thorns, and insect casings. This work simultaneously celebrates and interrogates the outer shell as a potent metaphor for emotional states of separation from our environment.

Depictions of nets and veils are interwoven into this content. These permeable barriers present a secondary mode of containment by obscuring, concealing and trapping their subjects. Translucent, layered and complex surfaces are an invitation for viewers to look more closely, delve deeper into the spaces and objects around them and address the unconscious “veils” which obscure their own view of the world.
