A spring awakening is on the horizon in a few weeks, where snow melts away and flowers start to bloom. Perhaps ushering us into those idyllic days are local emerging artists, showcasing their work in two gallery exhibitions that open this week.

Colors explode through loud and energetic works in an exhibition titled “Rhythm and Noise! New Explorations in Color and Form,” which opens Thursday at ART (that matters) – an arts collective that offers support and guidance to up-and-coming local artists – in Oyster Bay.

Works by 10 emerging artists range across various mediums such as oil paintings on canvas and board, works in paper and mixed-media. The artists include Caitlin Golden, Rebecca Miller, Sonia Vera-Leon, Lisa Di Stefano, Anna Pickens, John Stack, Jeff Slack, Stelios, Michelle Posner and Haley Hefetz.

The show, curated by Hefetz, who is also a painter, will be on view through March 25 and is part of the Oyster Bay Art Walk that is held every first Thursday of the month.

“It gives emerging and local artists a chance and provides the platform through which their work can be seen by a wider audience,” Hefetz said via e-mail.
