This Thing We Call The Ocean

This Thing We Call The Ocean is the name of the new exhibition by local artist Stephen Lawrie, an exhibition located in the genuine local old Pioneer Bar, where nostalgia and stories meet and converse, most of the stories centered around this thing we call the ocean. The ocean, as a matter of fact, gives form to this community of fish-people, becoming its core, but it also extends to those in relation with it- the neighbors, the spouses, the grown-up kids, the friends, and now, the tourists. In one way or another, many of those stories end up being told or retold at the P. Bar, with Rita and her army of bartenders becoming custodians of voices, memories, and hopes, and also, warriors of one or two bad tantrums, and judges of quite many tintinnabulations thanks to the old perfectly rusty mermaid bell calling sailors in. ML.

The opening will be on Saturday, May 31, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. It will be an event focused on the art, with music, tapas and a wine tasting too. Afterwards, you will be able to enjoy the art in the true spirit of the PBar vibe. The exhibition will hang there for two weeks.

This exhibition is supported by the Hames Corporation, with thanks to Roger and Mary Hames and Chris Heim, manager of the Pioneer Bar.
