2022 Annual Exhibitions Opening Reception

The Henry L. Ferguson Museum Opens the 2022 Season with a new Annual Exhibition Year Round: A Celebration of Community as well as two complementary Special Exhibitions.

The main show will chronicle many aspects of the Island’s year-round community with a focus on work, school activities, recreation, and annual events that help bring the Island together. The work-related imagery will cover a range of island institutions and businesses over the past century and will include portraits of many island residents taken by island photographers.

Please join us for our opening reception at the museum Saturday, June 25th from 5-7 pm.

Please note: The main exhibit will be on display virtually later this summer.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION: Winter will be on display on the Second Floor and an expanded version is on display virtually on this website.

The complementary show will focus on artistic photos that portray the many facets of the island in the grip of snow and ice.
