Modern Iconography Curated by Jay Schuck featuring Bryan Gutman, Rick Miller, Ben Owens, Chaltin Pagan, Fran Pelzman Liscio, John Prudente
On Exhibition at the Patchogue Arts Gallery through April 18.

The term icon derives from the Greek word eikōn, meaning image. But it is also used to refer to a specific style of painting rooted in Eastern Catholicism dating back to the Middle Ages. These paintings depicting religious figures were standardized across Europe, allowing Christians to instantly recognize the images and their attributes regardless of where they were made. 

Despite its broader meaning in the 21st century, the term icon is still used to refer to any instantaneously recognizable image, person, or object regardless of the time or place it originated. Marilyn Monroe, Sherlock Holmes, and the Eiffel Tower are all considered icons because they hold longstanding symbolic meaning that transcends time. The artists in Modern Iconography explore the concept of iconography using popular imagery as the basis for their artwork.

RoastGalleryLooking Through a Window: Photographs by Carole J. Amodeo
Photograph by Carole J. Amodeo
On display through April 20 at the PAC Members Gallery at Roast Coffee & Tea Trading Co. 
 
In her photography, Carole J. Amodeo fabricates the experience of walking down a lively, busy street. She captures not only the storefront mannequins that model elegant dresses, but also the sounds of traffic and tall buildings that are cast by the reflective glass windows. Her work brings to mind notions of consumerism, fashion, and the hustle of a city lifestyle.

Love's Labour's Lost -

Directed by Christopher Luscombe

Shakespeare's sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unraveling an unrealistic vow and mischievously suggesting that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavors.




For an additional cost, the Saturday morning screenings feature brunch by Goldberg's Famous Bagels and a Mimosa, wine, or beer from The Plaza's Blue Velvet Lounge; the Thursday evening screenings feature a cheese platter from The Cheese Patch to pair with select wines or beers from The Plaza's Blue Velvet Lounge.
