What an incredible opening weekend we had for this year’s first exhibition, Look at the Book! Thank you to everyone who came out to support the artists and see their amazing work on display. The energy and enthusiasm in the gallery were palpable, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the response to the show.

We are delighted to share some exciting news with you! Mayor Bill Manger presented a proclamation to Lana Jokel in recognition of her generous donation to the Southampton Arts Center. This special honor highlights Lana’s commitment to supporting the arts and our community, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her contribution.If you haven’t had a chance to see Look at the Book yet, there’s still time! The exhibition will be on view until May 4, so be sure to stop by and take a closer look at these captivating works of art.
