Portal 3 Juried Show - August 1 and September 26
2026-08-01 - 2026-09-27
Curious what’s on the other side? Portal 3, the island-wide Juried Fine Art Show, is your invitation to find out.
Shown in the historic Firehouse Gallery, until September 27, this exhibition brings together 54 remarkable works of art – all selected by a single juror for their originality, craftsmanship, and bold interpretation of this year’s theme: Portal.
Expect the unexpected. Some pieces will transport you somewhere physical, others somewhere emotional, and some will simply make you stop and look twice.
Wander through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, all displayed within a gallery space as rich in history as the art on its walls. It’s a rare pairing—contemporary creativity set against a building with a story of its own—and one that makes every visit feel a little different.
You don’t need to be an art expert to enjoy Portal 3. You just need to be curious. Bring a friend, bring your family, or come on your own and take your time.
