TOHANASH TARRANT
Growing up on the Shinnecock Reservation, Tohanash shadowed her mother while she sat quietly for hours doing handwork — quilting blankets, beading hair ties, and lacing shawls. From the time she could walk, she was dancing at powwows. Now she has two children of her own and her attention has turned from dancing “fancy shawl” herself to beading and sewing dance outfits for her kids and other relatives. Beadwork has long been among her passions and that passion shows in the care she gives to the detail and individuality of each new piece. Building a sustainable business model based on her creativity and ability has set Tohanash apart and given her inspiration to continue to share her art.

The Church was established in 2019 by artists Eric Fischl and April Gornik. Housed in a deconsecrated 19th-century church, its doors were opened in April 2021. Our mission is to foster creativity and to honor the living history of Sag Harbor as a maker village. The East End represents an exceptional artistic legacy, spanning the practices of indigenous art of several centuries ago, Abstract Expressionists of the mid-20th century, and the many celebrated writers, makers, musicians, and visual artists of the recent past and current moment. Core programming includes visual art exhibitions, concerts and events, educational programming, workshops, lectures, and an artist’s residency.
