Mosquito Hawk Gallery is a communal space that celebrates and nurtures the work of both emerging and established artists. Housed in a 19th century church, Mosquito Hawk Gallery boasts cathedral ceilings and 75 feet of linear hanging space. The goal of Alexis Martino, the gallery’s founder, is to create a salon-like atmosphere, which will foster a sense of community and an open exchange of ideas.
Mosquito Hawk studio showcases the work of younger artists through solo and group shows and enhances these with artist’s critiques with local established artists. The studio will host a yearly Community Art Show, open to artists of all ages. All accepted work will appear in a book published by the Gallery and made available at local bookstores and online. In addition, Mosquito Hawk studio plans or organizing photography-based trips abroad for high school students where the students will immerse themselves in local culture and learn how to ethically document the experience while, at the same time, becoming more adept in the art of photography. In addition, MHS aims to expand its educational mission by giving studio space to young artists so that they can create new artwork and enter into a community with other local artists
