Tripoli Gallery will present its 21st Annual Thanksgiving Collective, “Making It Home,” from November 29 through January 2026. The exhibition features work by Jeremy Dennis, Sally Egbert, Sabra Moon Elliot, Hiroyuki Hamada, Judith Hudson and Miles Partington, artists who have made the East End their home and the place where they live and work. The show examines the many iterations of home and what it means to establish one.
An opening reception for the artists will be held Saturday, November 29, from 5 to 7 p.m.
“Making It Home” invites viewers to consider the idea of home in multiple forms — the home individuals are born into, the home they construct for themselves and the home imagined for future generations. The exhibition also explores how people adapt after leaving their first physical refuge and how they shape environments that reflect personal needs and ideals.
Alongside these individual narratives is the wider history of human movement across countries and centuries, as people depart original homelands in search of safety, freedom, hope, comfort or power.
The exhibition additionally acknowledges the troubled history of this country and the violence that accompanied Western settlement, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these histories and considering futures that avoid repeating past harms.
“Making It Home” will be on view at Tripoli Gallery, located at 26 Ardsley Road in Wainscott, through January 2026. For more information, contact the gallery at its Wainscott location.
