The Church in Sag Harbor presents “Sag Harbor In Focus,” a photography exhibition, contest, and fashion show.
The photo exhibition features work by Pierson High School students, as it celebrates its ninth annual exhibition. The Church also welcomes the Pierson High School students who participated in The Church’s 2025 Fashion Intensive Workshop, which was supported by the Reutershan Education Trust and facilitated by Mary Jane Marcasiano. Begin the evening by applauding the students as they model their spring 2025 collection with a fashion show. Then join to toast the winners of this year’s photography exhibition. The evening will conclude with a reception.
The exhibition, which has become a Sag Harbor tradition, highlights life in our village and on the East End as experienced through the lens of Pierson High School students. See their take on the eight exhibition categories: Portraiture, Landscape and the Natural World, Architecture, Still Life, Home and Family, A Sense of Place, People and Activities, and Inside Out. Assembled by artist and Pierson High School art teacher Liz Cataletto, the show includes work done by students in her photography and advanced photography classes.
This year, acclaimed photographer Ralph Gibson judges the photography contest. Gibson will choose one winning photograph from each category. The winners will each receive a $100 prize, with a $1,000 grand prize issued to the photographer with the most outstanding body of work submitted for consideration.
The opening reception, fashion show, and award ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 29, from 5 to 7 PM. The show is on view from May 30 to June 1.
