'East End Collected7' Comes to Southampton Arts Center

As Southampton Arts Center looks to celebrate 10 years of community building through the arts, the organization is excited to present the seventh installment of Paton Miller’s exhibition that reflects the artist’s vision of the East End as an ideal environment to create work. “East End Collected7” will feature more than 40 artists in this collective show, complemented by exhibition and studio tours, artist talks, and a special film screening by filmmaker Lana Jokel. The exhibition opens on Saturday, February 11, with a reception at 5 p.m.

“I am genuinely delighted that ‘East End Collected7’ is the first exhibition I am here for as the executive director, as it is the core of the Southampton Arts Center’s mission of community building through the arts,” said SAC’s new executive director Christina Mossaides Strassfield, who officially signed on in January 2023. “These artists represent the region’s rich cultural tradition and artistic history.”

Exhibition artists include Kelynn Z. Alder, Isadora Capraro, Dan Christensen Studios, Janet Culbertson, Eugenio Cuttica, Franco Cuttica, Lautaro Cuttica, James dePasquale, RaineyDay Erwin, Phil Falino, Phyllis Falino, Margaret Garrett, Tiana Grampus, Elaine Grove, Lyllis Halsey, Hiroyuki Hamada, Glen Hanson, Gary Hartmann, Peter Hill, Candace Hill-Montgomery, Terri Hyland, Oscar Jackman, Nathan Slate Joseph, Anna Jurinich, Mary Lambert, James Ledogar, Christine Matthäi, Michael Meehan, Christian Miller, Paton Miller, Sam Miller, Oscar Molina, Dave O., Patrick Peters, John Pomianowski, Zelie Rellim, John Rist, John Ross Rist, Jay Schneiderman, George Schulman, Brenda Simmons, Liz Sloan, Adam Straus and Ann Lambert Waits.

“It’s with great anticipation that I look forward to assembling the work of 44 artists for Southampton Art Center’s seventh iteration of East End Collected,” said exhibition curator and artist Paton Miller. “This exhibition coincides with SAC’s 10th anniversary and also the directorship now taken over by Christina Strassfield. Christina, after 30 years at East Hampton’s Guild Hall, has an encyclopedic knowledge of not just eastern Long Island, but greater Long Island and the art world.”

“East End Collected7” will be on view February 11 to April 29. Southampton Arts Center is at 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton. Visit southamptonartscenter.org for details.
