A local artist is seeking volunteers from Greenport to participate in an upcoming project.

Artist Andrea Cote will be creating series of video portraits for an upcoming exhibition at the Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport from Dec. 6, 2014 to Jan. 25, 2015.

She is looking for volunteers or suggestions of interested individuals whose families have resided in Greenport for at least four generations, up to and including the present.

Participation will involve an interview for a short five to 10 minute documentary piece and photographs of the eyes of members of the family, which can be re-photographed from old photos. The videos will be screened at an event during the course of the show and available for viewing by the public.

She hopes to complete the interviews by the end of October.

Interested parties can contact Cote at andrea@andreaspace.net.
