Greenport, N.Y. – The Resident Art Committee of Peconic Landing, a continuing care retirement community, will host the opening gala reception of "The Rest is Art: A Celebration of the Bench as an Art Form," in Peconic Landing's permanent outdoor sculpture garden on the grounds of historic Brecknock Hall, 1500 Brecknock Road, Greenport, Sunday, June 30, at 4 p.m.
In addition to the artists whose sculpted benches are chosen, the juried exhibition will include at least two new pieces from artists participating in past shows. A labeling system on individual artworks featuring QR codes will link readers to the exhibition catalog on Peconic Landing’s website. Guests will have an opportunity to meet and greet the artists. Music will be provided by East End Brass, and refreshments will be served.
The event is free and open to the public as part of Peconic Landing's Community Connection program which includes a thriving cultural arts program showcasing an ongoing schedule of exhibitions, performances, concerts and lectures. Reservations are required and can be obtained by calling 631-477-BLUE.
In 2010, Peconic Landing’s Resident Art Committee announced the opening of its permanent outdoor sculpture garden on the grounds of Brecknock Hall. After two years of juried sculpture exhibitions, this became the area’s first permanent sculpture exhibition showcasing high-quality works by local and international sculptors that best complement and enhance this unique building and surrounding landscape.
This year’s exhibition, "The Rest is Art: A Celebration of the Bench as an Art Form," presented by Peconic Landing’s Resident Art Committee, is curated by Dominic Antignano, himself a sculptor of note and Peconic Landing cultural arts coordinator. Peconic Landing’s Resident Art Committee is the energy behind the sculpture garden, as are the other committees that work on all of Peconic Landing’s programs.
