Matter of Spark: The East End Arts Podcast

July 31, 2026

This year’s DETOUR summer exhibition features two very different but very connected curations by two very different but very connected curators. Kevin and Howard have deep roots in music and explore how it intertwines with visual art, specifically what’s currently on view.

The exhibition also introduces the new Andy Tarshis Fine Art Gallery space at 48 W. Main St, Riverhead, where Kevin’s Open for the Stones Vol. 3 curation is held, directly across from Mary Boochever’s The Value of Nothing curation at the 11 West at Peconic Crossing Gallery.
