A live and virtual presentation by Save the Sound's New York Natural Areas Coordinator Louise Harrison, co-hosted at the FI Movie Theater by the H.L. Ferguson Museum, the Fishers Island Conservancy, and the Fishers Island Oyster Farm. Followed by a reception for in-person attendees.
In the full sweep of Fishers Island’s history, there is no artist more synonymous, more closely associated with Fishers Island than Charles B. “Charlie” Ferguson. The main show features images from two of Charlie's sketchbooks which functioned as illustrated diaries that were filled with daily activities, nature observations, personal notes, and lots of art—drawings, sketches, and watercolors—in various states of completion.
