Join The Church on Saturday, April 26, from noon to 2 p.m. for an open-studio visit with two current artists-in-residence, Alison Cynamon and Rayos Magos.

As an author, illustrator and public artist, Cynamon creates work ranging from the development of storybooks and narrative drawings to the planning and design of murals and installations. Currently, her work centers on the writing and illustration of children’s books, pairing imaginative stories with playful characters and designs.

Magos, a multidisciplinary artist, draws inspiration and influence from his ethnic identity as a Chicano (Mexican American/Latinx). Working across a variety of media, he investigates symbolism and storytelling within Chicano culture in his work, blending personal narratives with universal themes to examine the past, future and present.

Stop by anytime between noon and 2 p.m. to observe and reflect as Cynamon and Magos introduce and discuss their practices and works in progress, highlighting the developments made while in residence. Admission is free.

The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor. Visit thechurchsagharbor.org for details.
