WATER MILL, NY 4/21/2023—The Parrish Art Museum presents Spring Fling, the highly anticipated annual community celebration, fundraiser, and networking event, on Saturday, May 6, from 7:30pm to 11:00pm at the Museum. Featuring dancing to music by a DJ Marc Bauman, a silent auction, delicacies catered by Elegant Affairs, and open bar, Spring Fling helps support the Parrish’s year-round educational programs for children and adults.

Activities throughout the Museum include dancing in the Lichtenstein Theater, bidding on the silent auction in the lobby, enjoying passed hors d’oeuvres and small tasting plates in the lobby and Theater, and exploring exhibitions in the Parrish galleries.

The silent auction offers unique goods and services donated by the East End business and professional community, including luxury handbags and designer accessories, gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses, decorative items and art works by artists and artisans, plus an array of unique spa, sport, and educational experiences on the East End.

Guests at Spring Fling are invited to experience the Museum’s new museum-wide exhibition: Artists Choose Parrish, Part I—the first installment of a landmark exhibition series featuring internationally renowned contemporary artists with deep roots on the East End of Long Island, presenting their work alongside their selections from the Permanent Collection.

Artists Choose Parrish, Part I, highlights 20 artists presented in two overlapping installations: Nanette Carter, Pamela Council, Robert Gober, Mary Heilmann, Sam Moyer, Ugo Rondinone, Cindy Sherman, Leslee Stradford, and Michelle Stuart (on view April 16–August 6); and Tony Bechara, Ross Bleckner, Jeremy Dennis, Eric Fischl, Claude Lawrence, Robert Longo, Eddie Martinez, Enoc Perez, Hank Willis Thomas, Nina Yankowitz, and Joe Zucker (on view April 30–July 23, 2023).
