Sag Harbor's Black Artists
"Creative Haven: Black Artists of Sag Harbor" will open at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook on Friday and continue through Aug. 27. By the early 1960s, a well-connected group of African-American artists had settled in Sag Harbor, a community with deep Black and Native American histories.
Among the exhibition's 12 artists are Frank Wimberley, Al Loving, Reynold Ruffins, Joan Ruffins, Nanette Carter, Claude Lawrence, Harlan Jackson, and Michael A. Butler, who is also the show's co-curator.
Works by Mr. Wimberley, Ms. Carter, Mr. Loving, and Gregory Coates, a Sag Harbor artist, are also on view through May 27 in "Return to a Place by the Sea" at The Church in Sag Harbor.
More Love and Passion
Karyn Mannix will bring the 19th annual "Love & Passion" art exhibition to Ashawagh Hall in Springs on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 to 4. A reception is set for Saturday from 4 to 7.
The exhibition, which took a three-year Covid break, began 22 years ago as a collaboration with the late Vito Sisti in a closed jewelry shop on Main Street in East Hampton. This year's iteration will include paintings, illustration, photography, and sculpture by more than 50 artists, among them Barbara Bilotta, Durell Godfrey, Gerard Giliberti, Joyce Kubat, Robert Rosenbaum, Rosa Scott, and Teresa Lawler.
Taxter to Artists Space
Kelly Taxter, who served as director of the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill from March through December 2021, has been named deputy director of Artists Space in TriBeCa.
Established in 1972, the nonprofit exhibition space has long been associated with the Pictures Generation because of a 1977 show, "Pictures," in which Douglas Crimp organized work by Troy Brauntuch, Jack Goldstein, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, and Philip Smith, all of whom explored the function of the image. The venue also introduced the work of Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Louise Lawler, and Laurie Anderson.
Before her tenure at the Parrish, Ms. Taxter was the curator of contemporary art at the Jewish Museum in New York from 2013 to 2021.
Southampton Artists
The 2023 Winter Art Exhibit of the Southampton Artists Association is at the Southampton Cultural Center through Feb. 26. Among the more than 40 participants are Danielle Leef, Jean Arena, Jean Mahoney, Michele Murray, Paul Dempsey, and Victoria Hartman.
A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.
