Proof: Light of the Ocean Exhibition

Join us to celebrate the culmination of our 2025 Surf Media Program! Our talented cohort of Rockaway youth photographers are ready to unveil their perspectives on surf culture. From November to February, this year’s media mentorship cohort took to Rockaway’s frigid winter waters to begin telling their stories through capturing breathtaking in-water and on land imagery. On March 15 the media mentorship will release the zine “Lígemeri Barana” and showcase their work in an exhibition at the Arverne East Nature Preserve.

MARCH 15 | 6PM - 9PM | Arverne East Nature Preserve | 190 Beach 44th St, Far Rockaway, NY

SPECIAL ZINE RELEASE - $25 Don’t miss the debut of “Lígemeri Barana” (Light of the Ocean), showcasing the remarkable work of our youth participants. All proceeds directly support our youth programming and the photographers. Their art is redefining surf media narratives and amplifying diverse voices within the surf community. Join us in supporting the future of surf media!

A huge thank you to our incredible partner, @photodom.nyc , for their invaluable support in making this exhibition, including the printing and framing of these photographs, a reality.
