On October 26, from 1 to 5 PM, the Southampton Artists Association will host a public reception to benefit Heart of the Hamptons at Levitas Center for the Arts Gallery at the Southampton Cultural Center. The “Art From The Heart” art show will be on display and sale through November 11.
The SAA, a long-time local group of painters, photographers, sculptors, and multimedia artists, exhibits art together several times a year.
“Art From The Heart” will offer dozens of custom-created 10” by 10″ vibrant and relatable images—paintings, mixed media, and photography. Pieces will be for sale for $200 each. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go to Heart of the Hamptons and 50 percent to the artist. All of the works are unsigned by the SAA artist.
For over 40 years, SAA has offered a place to nurture and support local creatives and Suffolk County artists from many professional backgrounds and life experiences. As a non-profit volunteer association, they welcome and encourage members to hone their skills, share ideas, and inspire communities.
Heart of the Hamptons is far more than a food pantry, although this year alone, more than 300,000 meals have been distributed throughout the East End. Its mission is to help those in need without discrimination and with dignity. They provide school supplies and lunches, emergency funds for rental assistance, heating or automobile fuel, utilities, and more. They also serve veterans and seniors in need. This is all made possible by the staff led by Molly Bishop and a team of more than 200 volunteers.
