(RIVERHEAD, NY) –– The East End Arts Gallery is pleased to announce an open call for artist participation in the upcoming juried, all media art show, Connections, at the East End Arts Gallery, opening with a reception on Friday, June 21 and running through August 2, 2013.

Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood encourages artists: “Connections can be emotional, structural, genetic, etc. Just open your eyes, connections are everywhere.
