A Tequesta gallery will host a complimentary meet-and-greet with conservation fine-art photographer Doreen McGunagle on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 2 to 4 p.m., according to the artist’s event page. McGunagle said in a written, on-the-record clarification that the program will introduce eight aerial photographs from San Diego and should not be described as the opening of a separate exhibition.

The event is scheduled at Artists’ Studios & Gallery of Tequesta, Plaza 222, 222 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 7. The listing calls for advance registration and schedules an artist talk for 2:30 p.m. The gallery’s website independently lists McGunagle as a visiting artist and gives its ordinary hours as 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Because the special program runs until 4 p.m., visitors should use the event registration route and confirm any capacity, accessibility or late-afternoon entry details with the organizer.

Current works are separate from the Nov. 14 presentation

McGunagle distinguished the San Diego program from three aerial images she said are currently at the gallery: “Mosaic Currents of Looe Key,” “Silent Currents of the Turquoise Veil” and “Depths of Fluid Serenity.” She said installations are subject to the gallery’s rotation and deferred to the venue for exact display dates.

For Nov. 14, she identified eight different works: “Veins of the Ocean’s Breadth,” “Fractured Tides Above the Shore,” “Fractal Pulse at Tidal Embrace,” “Pulse of the Breaking Crest,” “Currents of the Kelp Mosaic,” “Currents Among the Kelp Veil,” “Elevated Kelp Realm” and “Kelp Tides at Low Tide.” Her event description says the group examines coastal environments, kelp forests, currents and patterns created where land and sea meet.

The distinction matters for people deciding when to visit. The three Looe Key pieces are described as part of the gallery’s current rotation, while the eight San Diego works are tied to the Nov. 14 artist presentation. The event notice does not establish that all eight pieces will remain on view during ordinary gallery hours after the program.

Artist identity and limits of the announcement

McGunagle’s current faculty profile identifies her as an associate professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. She emphasized that she is speaking for her own artistic practice, not for the gallery, the university or another institution. The university affiliation is included only to corroborate identity; the event is presented as the artist’s program.

The available records support the date, venue, artist identity and planned set of eight works, but they do not supply an independent curatorial review of the photographs or a venue-issued event announcement. Readers should therefore treat the artistic description as McGunagle’s account of her own work. The American Quorum did not use the submitted promotional flyer or any of the artist’s photographs in this report.

Attendance is listed as complimentary, with advance RSVP requested. Anyone planning a visit should check the event page shortly before traveling because special-event access extends beyond the gallery’s posted ordinary closing time.
