The Governors Island exhibition, entitled “The Tide is High,” brought together the work of 23 contemporary artists including members of Silvermine’s Guild of Artists, along with other invited artists from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. The goal of the exhibition was twofold, to create a greater dialog between the Connecticut region and the larger contempo-rary art world; and begin to create a new context for art outside of the gallery/museum structure. As the show’s co-curator Christopher Joy said, “The contemporary art world permeates everywhere.”
