60 x 60 is a celebration of Gallery North’s 60th anniversary. It explores the Gallery’s exciting past through the artists who helped shape the non-profit into one of the best community centers on Long Island. Each of the 60 artists on view has exhibited at Gallery North over its 60-year history. Bringing these artists together for the first time, 60 x 60 demonstrates the Gallery’s significant commitment to exhibiting the region’s diverse contemporary artists, and its dedication to providing high quality arts programming for the community. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, and sculptures by artists including Marjorie Bishop, Joseph Reboli, George Booth, Terence Netter, Doug Reina, Robert White, Christian White, Ty Stroudsburg, Gina Mars, Kelynn Alder, Lorena Salcedo-Watson, Darlene Charneco, Jeremy Dennis, Nancy Bueti-Randall, Paton Miller and many others. Paton Miller’s Hill Top Village represents his current practice almost 5 decades after his first exhibition at Gallery North in 1978, while Jeremy Dennis’ Nothing Happened Here #22 reflects some of the new voices within the community. Through these and many other artworks, 60 x 60 marks a unique turning point for Gallery North between its valued past and a thrilling future. The exhibition also coincides with the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Terence Netter Creative Center, a new building on Gallery North’s campus which will add a second larger project space for exhibitions, as well as a café, community art library, and an expansive new green space. The Netter Center will enhance Gallery North as a cultural meeting point where people can gather to enjoy art, exchange diverse ideas, and enrich our community.

This exhibition is generously sponsored by the Field Family, Jefferson’s Ferry, Printers 3 and Suffolk County’s Department of Economic Development and Planning. The exhibition, reception and Groundbreaking Ceremony will be free and open to the public.
