Image City Photography Gallery is proud to announce The Colors of Aruba, a vibrant new exhibition by Gallery Partner Marie Costanza, on view from September 30 through October 26, 2025. A public reception will be held on Friday, October 3, from 5–8:30 p.m. Guests are invited to meet the artist and experience her striking collection in person.
Aruba, often described as “an island painted in brilliance,” serves as the inspiration for Costanza’s work. Through The Colors of Aruba, she captures the island’s fiery sunsets, shifting seas of blue, and the vivid hues that define daily life. Her lens turns toward both nature and architecture: from pelicans, kestrels, lapwings, and owls whose plumage echoes the drama of the skies, to pastel facades and bold-toned buildings that celebrate human creativity in harmony with the landscape.
“Together, these images weave a narrative of place,” Costanza shares, “one where sea and sky, feather and stone, sail and silhouette all converge in a dialogue of light and hue. My hope is that The Colors of Aruba invites viewers to experience the island’s spirit—alive in color, alive in wonder, alive in every fleeting moment.”
The exhibition also features Dixon Handshaw in the Neuberger Gallery and work by Visiting Artists: Clyde Comstock and Elena Dilai, as well as Guest Photographers: Jim Dusen, Tom Knauss, John Kosboth, and Debbie Nawoczenski. Their diverse perspectives add depth and variety to the show, offering visitors a wide-ranging visual experience.
Alongside Costanza and the guest artists, the Gallery’s Partners—Dick Bennett, Steve Levinson, Reggie Greene, Sheridan Vincent, Gerry Iuppa, Luann Pero, and Don Menges—will also present new works, further enriching the exhibition with their unique photographic visions.
The Colors of Aruba invites viewers to immerse themselves into a world of light, hue, and spirit. Whether through the elegant flight of an egret, the watchful curiosity of a burrowing owl, or the fiery glow of a Caribbean horizon, this exhibition offers a visual journey into the beauty and vitality of Aruba.
The event is free and open to the public. Image City Photography Gallery is handicap accessible.
