Southampton Arts Center Architecture + Design Tour July 14 Will Focus On Modernism
”The focus on modernism locally is a change of pace for the Architecture + Design Tour, which saw modifications during the pandemic. Past editions of the tour included visits to traditional homes by Grosvenor Atterbury and Stanford White, a virtual tour of Palm Springs, California, and a sneak peek at the Peter Marino Art Foundation in the former Rogers Memorial Library next door to the Southampton Arts Center.”
New York’s Hamptons offer a feast of indoor, outdoor art
“On the eastern end of Long Island, New York, lies a trove of art venues and a rich cultural scene to explore at leisure. You can find works in lush gardens and meadows, on manicured lawns, around ponds with waterlilies, by marshy creeks, and in historic Hamptons buildings.”
Outcropping: exhibition highlights Shinnecock and other Indigenous representation
”Shinnecock Nation artists feature prominently in an all-Indigenous exhibition in Southampton, New York. “Outcropping — Indigenous Art Now” features more than 50 artists from around the world. It’s a platform for Indigenous issues from a variety of perspectives, but it is curated by Jeremy Dennis from the Shinnecock Nation, the original Native inhabitants of the land where the exhibition is housed.”
Group For The East End Celebrates 50 Years Of Advocacy
”It is by no accident that the urban sprawl, strip malls and tract housing did not spread from New York City to the eastern reaches of Long Island — and it’s the reason the wetlands, fertile farmlands, and long, sandy beaches that remain are still intact. In the early 1970s, a coalition of environmental groups stepped forward. And chief among them was the Group for the East End.”
Local Ospreys Make Full Recovery, Group for the East End Reports

‘Clearing The Air’ At SAC Explores The Healing Power Of Art
“‘This show is interesting because of the challenges of many of the artists, but it’s also uplifting and inspiring for the observer,’ said Dunn. ‘Outside my personal experience and those of the artists in the show, the last year has been incredibly challenging for everybody. The pandemic challenged us in ways we didn’t know possible — civil rights rallies, racial and social justice — in that larger context, we wanted to put a thoughtful show together about this moment.’”
Review: ‘Beyond The Streets On Paper’ At Southampton Arts Center
”I strongly urge anyone interested in art, especially art that’s vital, what’s happening now, political, and full of social satire, to go to the Southampton Arts Center and see ‘Beyond The Streets on Paper.’ A vast number of people have seen the series of exhibitions that started in 2011, all from the brain and seemingly limitless energy of a graffiti artist from that hotbed of graffiti art, Bethesda, Maryland, Roger Gastman.”
Black-owned wine store features exotic wines from around the world
”’Not only getting the message that these wines are good for the community or the environment," said Green. "It's also important with biodynamic wines it's more of a culture, a community of working with different races and having different races really on your team.’"

Ospreys on the Rise: Group for the East End Documents Dramatic Increase in Osprey Populations
“‘On average, I receive an inquiry a week seeking information about how to place an osprey pole on private property or to see if someone has the right habitat,’ said Mr. Virgin. ‘The Group is very particular on where to place a new pole, as our goal over the past five-year study has been to see if pairs will return to nesting in trees, old boat docks, and on other natural areas or places in disrepair. At some point it would be nice if osprey could make it on their own and with the current robust population we may be near that time.”

Spying on Whales to Save Them
"One foggy morning last April, a dead humpback whale washed up on New York’s Rockaway Beach. It was a young male, thirty-one feet long, and had extensive bruising—the result of contact with ‘something very large,’ according to Kimberly Durham, of the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, who performed the necropsy.”
