Please join Executive Director and resident Art Historian Preston Metcalf as he guides us back to a time of giants, the artists and thinkers that transformed the world with their art: Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, Titian, and so many more.
Together these creators transformed the way we look at the world — and ourselves — and in so doing, gave us some of the most spectacular art ever created. It was a time of giants, and we are going to celebrate their magnificent legacies.

Stefie Gan Artist Talk

1:00PM-2:00PM
Free to the public
RSVP on Eventbrite
Join us on Saturday, July 25, 2026, starting at 1:00 pm for an in-depth artist talk with Triton exhibiting artist Stefie Gan.
Gan’s current exhibit in Triton Museum’s Digital Gallery, Carbon Sinks, Plastic Swims, is a series of animated films exploring carbon and plastic materials in our environment. By documenting and transforming material experiments into animation, the works reveal how substances are shaped, altered, and circulated in our world.
The exhibit invites viewers to consider the hidden relationships between carbon, plastic, and the environments they inhabit, highlighting the material origins and ecological impacts embedded within everyday substances.
This event gives you the opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about her and her work, while viewing the artist’s current exhibit at the Triton Museum of Art.
This event is free and open to the public (including free parking).
