SUMMARY:Opening Reception – Picturing the Past\, How Photography Tells Our Stories AND Moments of Rest: A Visual Sanctuary

Featuring landscape paintings from the Museum’s permanent collection\, this serene exhibition creates space for stillness and reflection. Let golden light\, ocean waves\, and imagined horizons help you pause\, breathe\, and recharge. \nEnjoy hors d’oeuvres\, a cash bar\, and live folk music as you explore the galleries.
