In an Oyster Bay home, where one of George Washington’s spies lived, there is now an art exhibit titled “Unfinished Revolutions.”

It’s on the second floor of Raynham Hall Museum.

One of the artists, Michael P. Raphael Galatro, created a 3D sculpture of an American Eagle titled “American Dream.”

“I really, truly have love, faith and hope in America,” he says.

The exhibition includes paintings, photos and a video.

Artist Jen Appel, whose video is the trailer of a film that is in the works, said that the central message of her trailer is that, “America’s worth it. It’s worth the fight. It was the first place that said we are going to be a country with liberty and justice for all.”
