Art Show and Reception: New Paintings by Alan Bull

Mattituck-Laurel Library will host an opening reception for “New Paintings,” an art show featuring work by Alan Bull.

Bull is originally from Old Town, Maine, and studied at the Philadelphia College of Art. He was artist-in-residence at the William Steeple Davis House in Orient from 1996 to 1998. In 2000, he received a NYSCA Community Connections grant for “Farm Freight,” an exhibition of paintings and photographs documenting agricultural railroad depots on the North Fork, shown at the Oysterponds Historical Society and the East End Arts Council. In 2019, he illustrated “Augustus and Me,” a children’s book about the history of Orient written by Janice Rose, and has recently illustrated other children’s books, as well as an album cover for Ian Hunter on Sun Records. Bull exhibits regularly in Orient and at the North Fork Art Collective in Greenport.

The show is on exhibit through February.
