The breadth and diversity of the lower Hudson Valley’s cultural landscape will be on display at ArtsWestchester’s new group exhibition, which started April 14.

The Open Call exhibition features 22 area artists who represent a thriving art scene. One standout artist to watch is Elizabeth Diaz, recipient of the Larry Salley Photography Award for 2024. Diaz’s captivating photographs of members of Yonkers’ trans community shed light on a social group that is often invisible to the general public.

“This exhibition is part of ArtsWestchester’s Arts Exchange series, which aims to promote and support local artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their work,” said Kathleen Reckling, ArtsWestchester’s COO. “We are committed to nurturing artistic talent and fostering a vibrant arts community.”

The exhibited artists represent a wide spectrum of artistic styles and media, from painters to sculptors, photographers to mixed media artists.

The exhibition runs through May 26. ArtsWestchester is located at 31 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains.
