Join the Ilan-Lael Foundation for their Pacific Rim Park Picnic on November 22 at Shelter Island Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This free event allows guests to participate in workshops as they reflect on the communities that came together for the Pacific Rim project. There will be free art stations onsite allowing guests to experiment with art and reflect on our coastal home. One of the workshops with clay gives guests a hands-on look at an upcoming exhibit at Oceanside Museum of Art. Shelter Island is home to a public art piece created by the late artist James Hubbell, alongside students from around the globe. The “Pearl of the Pacific” highlights how art and architecture can transcend cultural divides, inspire dialogue, and serve as tools of diplomacy, especially a timely message in a world marked by increasing polarization. Through the Ilan-Lael Foundation, his vision lives on in annual peace walks and ongoing Art Diplomacy initiatives, including the creation of new peace parks worldwide. In spirit of bringing the community together, the picnic will be potluck style. Each guest is encouraged to bring a dish inspired by the diverse countries around the Pacific Rim and can sign up online. Parking at the event is first come first serve and the foundation encourages guests to carpool.
