Georgetown Goes Modern:
The Modern Art Movement Meets An Island Community

Opening Reception - Saturday, June 25, 3-5PM
Exhibit runs June 26 - September 10
Georgetown Historical Society

GHS presents a uniquely close-to-home perspective of how our island community offered shelter, sustenance, and inspiration to artists of the American modern art movement in the first half of the 20th century.  The exhibit will include dozens of paintings, photographs, sculptures, and artifacts from Day, Ipcar, Kaisebier, Lachaise, Levine, Pucci, Schoener, Stieglitz, Strand, White, and the Zorachs. The close, interdependent relationships among the artists, as well as between the artists and this island’s residents can be seen and felt in the works they created and the lives they led.
