We are excited to have received so many wonderful entries for our upcoming Ten Squared: Online Art Exhibit & Sale.

The theme of this exhibit, Nature’s Embrace, generally refers to the feeling of being surrounded and supported by the natural world, offering a sense of peace, healing, and connection.

—————–

Ten Squared is a fundraising exhibit and sale for Southold Historical Museum. In this non-juried exhibition, artists are invited to submit pieces that are 10” x 10”. Each work will be sold for $100, half of which will benefit Southold Historical Museum; and half will go to the artist. The online exhibit and sale will be Nov. 12 – Dec. 12, 2025.

Join Steve Israel, owner of Theodore’s Books and a former U.S. Congressman, for a fascinating discussion of his new historical thriller, The Einstein Conspiracy, at 3 PM on Saturday, Nov. 22, at Floyd Memorial Library, Greenport.

Mr. Israel will be joined by Darren St. George, Executive Director of Southold Historical Museum, and Amy Folk, Archivist and Curator.

Set at the dawn of World War II, The Einstein Conspiracy imagines a race against time as FBI agents uncover a Nazi plot to kidnap Albert Einstein — a story inspired by real events.

There will be a reception with hors d’oeuvres, light refreshments, and a meet & greet with Congressman Israel at 2:30.

Free and open to the public. Registration required.
