'East End Collected 8' Comes to SAC

authorStaff Writer on Jan 21, 2025

Southampton Arts Center (SAC) will present the eighth iteration of its highly anticipated exhibition series, “East End Collected,” from February 1 through May 4. Curated by acclaimed artist Paton Miller and, for the first time, co-curated with SAC’s Executive Director Christina Mossaides Strassfield, this year’s exhibition highlights the East End as a dynamic hub for artistic creation.

The exhibition showcases the exceptional talent and diverse perspectives of 27 local artists, reflecting the vibrant creativity that defines the East End. Featuring a wide range of mediums — including painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, video and glass fusion — this exhibition brings together both longtime community members and newer residents. Together, these artists celebrate the enduring artistic legacy and camaraderie that make the East End a beacon for creativity.

“I have always admired Paton’s East End Collected exhibitions,” Christina Mossaides Strassfield said. “Two years ago, Paton and I enjoyed working on the ‘EEC7’ installation together, and it has been a pleasure to co-curate this exhibition. We each brought different sensibilities and aesthetics to the forefront in curating that complement one another beautifully. I am excited to be able to showcase the amazing artists who continue to make the East End a nurturing environment for the art community.”

“One show has become eight and over 250 artists have participated in the East End Collected series,” Paton Miller added. “This year’s exhibit is co-curated with Southampton Art Center director Christina Strassfield, my friend and colleague for over 35 years.”

This year’s featured artists include: William Albertini, John Battle, John Philip Capello, Linda Capello, Gary Chiappa, David Corgliano, Eva Faye, Robin Giannis, Carly Haffner, Robert Harms, Samuel Havens, Mary Jaffe, Brendan H. Johnston, Nishan Kazazian, Joyce Kubat, Stephen Laub, Setha Low, Sutton Lynch, Mica Marder, Richard Mothes, Isabella Rupp, Georgia Suter, Deirdre Swords, Aurelio Torres, Allan Wexler, Steven Zaluski, Amy Zerner and Susan Zises.

Visitors can look forward to a robust schedule of accompanying programs, including artist panels, curator-led tours and guided discussions that deepen the appreciation of the works on display. Wall labels featuring artist statements and biographies will further enhance the visitor experience.

“East End Collected” opens with a reception on February 1 at 5 p.m. and runs through May 4. Curators’ tour with Paton Miller and Christina Strassfield will be offered on Sunday, February 23. Artist panel talks will be presented on four Saturdays, March 1, March 15, March 29 and April 5.
