“Here & There,” the first Churchennial, is a multi-media exhibition highlighting the artists’ residency program at The Church in Sag Harbor from its first three years, 2021 through 2024. Works from more than 40 artists will be on view in all visual media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and video art, as well as events and workshops in performance, music, and the written word. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 4, from 6 to 7:30 PM. The show will be on view through December 29.
“It is thrilling to see how the residency has impacted the lives of so many artists from both the East End and around the world, and we are thrilled to be able to present a platform that will allow them to share their work and deepen community connections,” said Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella.
The residency program of The Church has been central to its mission since day one and ensures that Sag Harbor continues its long history as a thriving center for makers and artists. From 2021 to 2024, the residency program has featured over 128 artists and thinkers. This year-round program provides artists with living and workspace, as well as an opportunity for community-based work and collaborations.
In addition to supporting individuals from around the world at all career stages across artistic practices, special rotations include a Community Residency cycle that provides studio space to artists of the South Fork, and a group practices cycle that supports works that require multiple individuals for creation and execution, such as dance/choreography, performance, and musical composition.
