IN CELEBRATION: THE ART OF SAG HARBOR'S HISTORIC BLACK BEACHFRONT COMMUNITIES

A unique community collaboration that celebrated the past, present, and future of the creative and artistic legacy of Sag Harbor’s storied Historic Black Beachfront Communities. The event began with a panel discussion on the present and future of this artistically rich neighborhood, featuring artists Judith Henriques-Adams, Donnamarie Barnes, and Jeremy Dennis, moderated by The Church’s Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella. Following that, guests were invited to a guided tour of our exhibition Return to A Place By the Sea, which looks back on the works from the 1980s through the present by Nanette Carter, Gregory Coates, Al Loving, and Frank Wimberley, whose relationships flourished in their time spent in Sag Harbor and East Hampton. The event concluded with a wine & cheese reception co-hosted by E.T. Williams, a visionary supporter of African American art since the early 1960s and currently a Board member of The Church Board, and the Celebrating Creatives of Color Committee, who announced their plans for a community art show currently being organized as an outdoor fair taking place for the second consecutive year on August 26th, 2023.
