LongHouse Reserve recently hosted its annual “Rites of Spring” celebration. The 16-acre sculpture garden was in full bloom with over a million daffodils and rare bulb plants as director Carrie Rebora Barratt welcomed the community to weave sticks into Maren Hassinger’s “Monument 3,” now on view for the season. Visitors also enjoyed Wyatt Kahn’s three corten steel sculptures — “Parade,” “Painting the Painter” and “Umbrella.”
Popular permanent collection pieces by Buckminster Fuller, Sol Lewitt, Yoko Ono, Toshiko Takaezu, and many others remain on view, along with loaned works from Fitzhugh Karol, Moko Fukuyama, William and Steven Ladd, Alexander Polzin, and Ai Weiwei.
LongHouse looks forward to welcoming new and returning friends to upcoming programs in art, design, music, dance and wellness this season including a weaving workshop with Suzanne Tick on April 22; World Tai Chi and Qigong Day on April 29, marking the start of weekly Tai Chi classes with instructor Katherine Henderson; puppet making workshops with Kim Profaci on May 6.
Check the website, longhouse.org, for more upcoming events. LongHouse is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 12:30 p.m. until 5 p.m., through December. General admission is $20, with half price tickets for seniors, and no charge for students, veterans or active-duty personnel. LongHouse Reserve is at 133 Hands Creek Road, East Hampton.
