Press Release

Cold Spring, NY — Tony Moore and Cynthia Ligenza are pleased to announce the seasonal opening of Ligenza Moore Gallery and Sculpture Gardens from Memorial Weekend, Saturday May 24 to Sunday July 27.

Ligenza Moore Gallery is a beautifully situated 1,200 sq. ft. contemporary gallery with 17 ft. ceilings and landscaped grounds for sculpture near Cold Spring, NY. The gallery hosts curated exhibitions of museum-quality art, featuring fine and applied arts, the spoken word and music events. Artworks by Tony Moore and guest artists are available for viewing. 

The forthcoming exhibition in the gallery and sculpture gardens is “Destination Earth”, featuring the artworks of Katherine Bradford, Marieken Cochius, Meg Hitchcock, Simeon Lagodich, Cal Lane, Chris Martin, Tony Moore, Garry Nichols, Helen O’Leary, Judy Pfaff, David Provan, Jeff Shapiro, Greg Slick, Kurt Steger and Don Voisine. 

The works presented range from geometric abstraction to symbolic figuration, including wood, ceramic, stone and steel sculptures and site-specific installations within the landscape to paintings, drawings, prints and mixed media. The exhibition considers what it means to exist in this present moment while reflecting on the traces we have left behind. Through themes of observation, transformation and connection, it invites the viewer to engage with the visible and invisible forces that shape our world.

Ligenza Moore Gallery offers a quiet place for the contemplation of art, nature and self, and to revel in the beauty of our surroundings. The works offer a journey that gives time and space for reflection on both the physical and spiritual realms of existence. Many of the works are deeply grounded in a connection to the human spirit – all that it entails – and creative action which is passed on throughout the lineage of generations. “Destination Earth” is an exhibition to explore where we are, how we got here, what may endure, and what is to come.
