“PASSIOn FOR COLOUR” EXHIBIT nOW THROUGH JUnE 14The Southold Historical Society is hosting a special exhibition featuring the art-works of Mac Titmus and Christopher J. Alexander at its Reichert Family Cen-ter’s Cosden-Price Gallery, 54127 Main Road, Southold. Saturated color, lyrical movement, forceful line, and complex imagery are just a few of the adjectives used to describe their artistry. Their passion for vivid color translates into a stimulat-ing and climatic visual experience. The digital visions of Mac seek your personal interpretation, and with what began in New York at the turn of the 20th century as “The New Spirit,” the creations of Chris champion those responses in oil, and pastel. The result is a gift to the viewer that leaves their senses begging for more. Mac is an Abstract artist specializing in Digital Collage, Digital Painting and Fine Art Imagery. His work has been displayed in galleries across LI in individual, group and juried shows. His latest achievements include 4 first Place awards in regional shows and the Viewer’s Choice award at two Briarcliffe College LI Artists Exhibits. In October he was chosen as a Featured Artist at the Brookhaven Arts and Humanities Council grand opening and was the subject of a feature article in the CSA Journal in November. This past January he was featured as the 2nd place winner in Graphic Arts for “Art Buzz, The 2014 Collection.” Chris takes pride in the fact that he is a self- taught artist, deciding in 2000 to express himself through painting. His process developed naturally with experi-mentation and perseverance. He finds inspiration through the work of his favorite artists, Georgia O’Keefe, Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso. Chris has four pieces permanently on display at the New York Sports Club, Port Jefferson.For more info contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500.

LEARn ABOUT TIDES & CURREnTS SATURDAY JUnE 14The Peconic Bay Power Squadron will present “Tides & Currents”, part of the USPS University seminar series, at 1pm on at West Marine. 1089 Old Country Road, Riverhead. With over 72,000 miles of coastal waterways that are affected by tides and currents, every boater should learn to understand, predict and adapt to this constantly changing phenomenon. This seminar provides basic informa-tion anyone on tidal waters should have. Attendees will learn what causes tides to rise or fall, and what makes currents flow. The influence of the sun, moon, strong winds, atmospheric pressure, and more will be discussed, as students learn to predict the time and height of tides, as well as the speed and direction of cur-rent. Both on line and printed information is available for tide prediction. It can be a valuable resource for safe navigation, proper anchoring, speed or fuel cal-culations and more, for any boater who understands how to interpret it. A $45 fee includes a printed full color student guide. To learn more or to reserve your space, call Fred Smith at 631-298-1930 or visit www.PBPS.us

HISTORIC SIGn EXHIBIT JULY 5 THROUGH OCTOBER 12The Southold Historical Society is hosting an exhibition of historic signs that were created on Long Island between 1830 and 1930 at the Society’s Ann Currie-Bell House - Mayne Memorial Gallery, 55200 Main Road, Southold. Unlike many other regions of the northeast, surviving period signs from Long Island are unusual. It appears that once no longer useful, signs on Long Island were more regularly stripped and re-used for other purposes than in other regions. This exhibition will feature signs dating from 1830 to 1930. The majority are from eastern Suffolk County. The featured signs come from the Society’s collection, other local museum collections, as well as those loaned by private owners. The exhibit will be on display Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesdays, 1-4pm. For more info contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500.

Artist reception Thursday, July 3, 5-7pm. Bar-bara Bilotta considers herself an Abstract Expressionist, and her vibrant paint-ings certainly have the visual and emotional power that is so much a part of that school of painting. The majority of her different works will be for sale. For more info contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500.

From his New York City street scenes to his lyrical cubistic com-positions, he captures the emotions and heart of the era in which he has worked for more than 50 years. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Brooklyn Museum; and the Museum of the City of New York. He has exhibited in galleries in this country and abroad, and his images have appeared in The New York Times, Popular Photography, Black & White Magazine and in publications by West Publishing, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley, Harper & Row, and the Penguin Group. Recently, he was featured in a retrospective at the Monika Olko Gallery in Sag Harbor.
