EXPLORE TWO EXCITING EXHIBITIONS
Attendees can enjoy two dynamic exhibitions in our galleries:
PHOTOcentric 2025: State of Our Union (Biennial Juried Exhibition)
LEONARD FREED: Leonard Freed’s New York – An evocative installation by the acclaimed American photojournalist.

BE PART OF THE ART
In the spirit of community participation, guests are invited to contribute to an interactive installation within PHOTOcentric 2025 by responding to the prompt: “The past ten years — better or worse?” Visitors can share their reflections on post-it notes—expressing thoughts, memories, or observations about events and ideas that have shaped the past decade. These responses will become part of the exhibition, creating a collective snapshot of shared perspectives and experiences.
Proceeds from the event will support Garrison Art Center’s year-round exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives.
