THE CHURCH

Sag Harbor In Focus Opens Tonight

April 30^th - May 31^st

Sag Harbor in Focus is an exhibition of photography created by students from Pierson High School during the past year. It is a visual reflection of their experiences, diversity of interests and unique perspectives on living in Sag Harbor and growing up on the East End of Long Island. It celebrates their reliance during this extraordinary year of the pandemic and social protest. It is also a tangible manifestation of their creativity, passion for photography and their love of our community.

Carving Wooden Spoons with Tom!

Sunday May 9^th

Come watch anytime! And no need to reserve, since the class will be outside. Tom has a wealth of knowledge about all manner of woodworking and the amazing versatility of wood, and will be talking about his process as he carves. All are welcome!

THE CHURCH IS OPEN FOR TOURS!

We have begun offering limited public tours, while respecting COVID-19 regulations. Two tours will be offered daily from Thursdays to Mondays, at 11am and 2pm. These tours mark the beginning of events and programs that will continue over the coming months. And beginning Saturday, April 24, we will be offering a tour at 3pm in Spanish.

On view are an exhibition comprised two works of art by internationally recognized artists Kerry James Marshall and Awol Erizku and a poem by Adam Zagajewski, in an innovative and simple installation that allows for a dialogue about nature, beauty, history and race.

The Church co-founder Eric Fischl celebrated arriving at this milestone, saying "This opening is the culmination of the vision of a lifetime. Boldly put, this is a space of repurposed dedication. It is the home of art; a place of inexhaustible and uninhibited curiosity. We want The Church to stand as a beacon of hope and renewal through continual exploration and reinterpretation, which is the domain of the arts."
