I have converted an empty storefront on Main St. in Riverhead, NY into THINK POTATO INSTITUTE, part museum, part think-tank and part education center.  This exhibition includes my collection of potato-themed art, artifacts, research, books and collectibles from around the world.  This center for potato research is temporarily on view at 127 E. Main St. in Riverhead, NY.

This exhibition is supported in part by a New York Foundation for the Arts S.O.S. grant.
