By Semine Hazar and Barbara Todd, Award Winning Artists
Artist Reception: Friday, October 3 from 5-7 pm
in collaboration with the National Lighthouse Museum
Exhibit from September 6 – December 13, 2025

New York’s Lighthouses celebrates the state’s historic lighthouses—recognized for their architectural charm, symbolic power, and breathtaking settings. Once essential to maritime navigation, trade, and transportation, many of these landmarks are now lovingly preserved and open to the public, evoking themes of hope, guidance, and resilience.

Through Semine Hazar’s expressive paintings and Barbara Todd’s evocative photography, the exhibition captures the lighthouses’ enduring presence in New York’s coastal landscapes and their deep connection to the region’s maritime heritage. The exhibition showcases their distinct yet complementary artistic styles, offering unique interpretations of the iconic lighthouses of New York.

The show also draws inspiration from the Hudson River School, America’s first art movement, which celebrated the natural beauty of the Northeast and aligns with the National Lighthouse Museum’s mission to preserve and honor these coastal treasures.
