“FOUND” Exhibit Closing Reception

Friday, January 17 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

You’re invited to attend the closing reception for Found: A Series of Collections from Our Beaches, the exhibition features objects that eight-year-old Ryder Nadel discovered on East End beaches. Since he was a preschooler, he and his dad, Lee, have fished, hiked, and walked our beaches, finding trash and treasure everywhere. These jaunts sparked Ryder’s interest in conservation and at age four, he decided he didn’t want to have balloons at his birthday again. The “Marine Explorers” summer program also played an important role in spurring Ryder’s appreciation for marine life and the East End’s beaches. Picking up trash also led to the discovery of beautiful things in neglected places. This dichotomy is the essence of this show: from trash to treasure, from new to old and new again, from waste to conservation, from lost to found.

During the reception at the Marine Museum on January 17, Ryder will encourage visitors (like Peter Topping, the Peconic Baykeeper shown here) to take a closer look at some of the marine organisms that call the intertidal zone home in the winter and present a brief talk about marine debris.
