What makes a place feel like home?
In "Home Stretch," local artist P. S. Moore reflects on the landscape just south of Peterborough that has been his home since 1967. After decades of walking its trails and observing its changing seasons, Moore brings a deep familiarity to his paintings and works on paper, capturing the small details of wetland life and the enduring shape of the land.
Alongside poetry by Hollay Ghadery @hollayghadery the exhibition offers a visual and poetic reflection on place, memory, and our relationship with the land.
Visit the AGP to experience "Home Stretch," on view until January 17, 2027.
