(RIVERHEAD, NY, April 9, 2012) –– The East End Arts Gallery is pleased to announce the opening reception for the upcoming juried, all media art show, La Morte, (Italian for “death”) at the East End Arts’ Gallery on Friday, April 27, from 5PM to 7PM. Guest juror April Gornik, internationally renowned landscape artist, will select works that she feels offer original and personal insight into what the reality and/or concept of death means to the artist.

The East End Arts Gallery is located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead, NY.
