LightBox Photographic Gallery, 1045 Marine Drive

Years ago, Robert and Kerstin Adams bought from the Metropolitan Museum a reproduction of a Roman portrait of the Greek goddess Thalia, a muse for pastoral poets.

They kept it on top of a bookcase as a reminder of the classical inheritance that we all share. Recently, they moved it temporarily to a spot next to the front window in their living room, and discovered in the brighter light qualities that inspired them.

Adams, a renowned photographer who lives in Astoria, studied the sculpture for two days at various hours. What most impressed them was the portrait’s serenity.

This month, LightBox opens Adams’ exhibit “Thalia” in the space’s upper gallery, showing the original silver gelatin prints created from the negatives. “Thalia” has also been released as a hardcover book by Fraenkel Gallery of San Francisco.

Also featured will be Loren Nelson’s solo exhibit “Found Subject(s) Matter” in the lower gallery, and the work of members of The Guild at LightBox. A reception will be held from 4 to 7 p.m., Adams’ exhibit will be on display through Dec. 7.

Paul Polson Studio Gallery, 100 10th St.

Showing a retrospective collection of work by artist and owner Paul Polson, with several large paintings: oil and water bases, impressionist landscapes, surrealism and Polson’s signature “Strata” paintings.

RiverSea Gallery, 1160 Commercial St.

In her latest collection, Astoria artist Jill McVarish recreates images from the mind of the fictional painter, Phillip P. Marzipan III, a character who appears in the novel “Music for Losers” by local author Chris Minnick.

In this tale, Marzipan is a painter with an over-inflated sense of his importance and a penchant for Jello, Caravaggio, and cats. These paintings began as suggestions generated by an AI chatbot trained on the text of Minnick’s novel, which McVarish has interpreted in her signature style.

In the Alcove space, prominent fine art photographer Jody Miller inaugurates a series of photographs depicting an ethereal vision of Astoria, from revered iconic structures to the surrounding wildlands.

Each image is enhanced with a textured layer of encaustic — beeswax mixed with damar varnish — which imparts a translucent veil of mystery to each image for a painterly effect and dream-like appeal. Meet the artists from 5 to 8 p.m. Evening festivities include refreshments along with live tunes by John Orr and a set by Chris Minnick.

Studio 2 gilded+frayed, 1033 Marine Drive
