Spring Exhibitions in Westchester
Spring 2026 Exhibitions
KinoSaito
KinoSaito has reopened for the spring with several installations and exhibitions, including solo exhibitions of Alison Knowles and Irina Lotarevich. In Alison Knowles’ Celebration Red, a red floor grid invites visitors to engage with the installation by adding to the environment with objects from home. Irina Lotarevich’s Indicators features wall-mounted metal sculptures that explore the artist’s experience with large bureaucratic systems. Also on view are a never-before-exhibited painting by Kikuo Saito displayed with Knowles’ work, and a solo garden exhibition with works of Kurt Steger.
Think Big
Mamaroneck Artists Guild
at Rye Arts Center
The Mamaroneck Artists Guild’s members’ exhibition at the Rye Arts Center invites audiences to explore art on a grander scale. Working at a larger scale changes both how a piece is created and how it is experienced. With a minimum size requirement of 72 square inches, these works encourage artists to treat scale as a central element of their work, and invite visitors to get lost in their detail.

IN-SECURITY
Hudson Valley MOCA
Hudson Valley MOCA presents its 6th Annual Juried Exhibition, featuring work by 75 artists from across the nation. Through a wide range of contemporary artistic responses, the exhibition explores personal, social and historical disruption by examining how periods of instability reshape perception, identity and collective experience.
Multitudes
Yellow Studio
This exhibition featuring four artists looks at the myriad ways in which women are perceived – by themselves and by others simultaneously. Works by these artists explore the show’s theme through painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture to present a conversation with the viewer that reclaims personal autonomy in personal and public perceptions. Artists include Allison Belolan, Dorian Goldman, Anne Pollard James and Angela Strassheim.
Space and Time
Clay Art Center
This collaborative group show consists of functional and sculptural ceramics by artists from Clay Art Center’s studio community. Curated by past Artist-in-Residence Max Seinfeld, the exhibited works, moving between playful and reflective, use clay to think through memory, lived experiences and the physical world.
STILL/MOVING
Katonah Museum of Art and Pocantico Center
This collaborative set of exhibitions displays the work of painter Shen Wei, who is also a renowned choreographer, dancer, and a founding member of China’s first modern dance company. On display at Katonah Museum of Art through April 19 are paintings that show the influence of Chinese calligraphy and the impact of music on Wei’s practice. At Pocantico Center until April 18, the focus is on Wei’s landscape paintings, large works that reward close inspection. Read more about this exhibition, click here.

The Eyes of the City: Photographs of Richard Sandler
The Capa Space
Between 1977 and 2001, photographer Richard Sandler documented New York City in unfiltered detail. The images catch the odd, funny and tense moments that pass through city streets without smoothing them into nostalgia. The resulting exhibition is built from sharp, unsentimental photographs of urban public life.
On view March 29 through June 28.
Gestures of Community
White Plains Public Library
This solo exhibition by Brandy Antonio displays large-scale multimedia collage portraits that “exploring how individuals express connection, care, and belonging through body language.” The artist’s exploration of these topics is brought to life through gestural marks and vibrant colors.
