Shelter Island is home to a public art piece created by the late artist James Hubbell, alongside students from around the globe.

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.
