  <td><p><i>Sum (</i>숨<i>) </i>is a hands-on textile workshop led by multidisciplinary artist Jun   Yang. Participants will create soft sculptures and mini pillow-like forms   through simple sewing and stuffing techniques, exploring how fabric, touch,   and form can carry memory and emotion. Inspired by experiences of loss and   loneliness, as well as a desire to honor family legacies and preserve   personal histories, this workshop approaches art-making as a therapeutic act   of creating. Participants are invited to explore softness as a form of   resilience while crafting tactile objects that hold memories, care, and   belonging. The focus is not on producing visually perfect objects, but on the   act of making itself—an intimate process of reflection, healing, and   connection. Through slow, hands-on creation, the workshop becomes a space for   collective care, where creativity transforms into a quiet revolution of   healing and shared joy. SUM (숨) (means breathing in Korean) This   program is co-sponsored with Ma’s House.</p>
<p>Artist Bio</p>
<p>"Jun Yang (he/they) is a queer   Korean multidisciplinary artist based in San Francisco. Born in Seoul, Yang’s   migration across Europe to the Bay Area was shaped by social isolation and a   search for safety. He developed a self-directed practice rooted in grief,   healing, survival, psychological transformation, and rewriting personal   history through two-dimensional paintings and tactile textile sculptures.</p>
<p>Working across painting, murals,   ceramics, and textile sculpture, Yang depicts gender-diverse queer bodies   resting and healing unapologetically within natural landscapes. His   interactive soft sculptures are meant to be held and touched, composed of   exaggerated, interlocking limbs that embody both emotional weight and the   feeling of not belonging. Through this work, Yang challenges traditional   beauty standards and creates space for collective healing experiences.</p></td>

</tbody></table><p>Yang has been nominated for the SECA Art Award (SFMOMA) and the Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship, and is a two-time recipient of the San Francisco Arts Commission Visual Arts Grants (2023, 2025). His exhibitions include a first museum solo exhibition at the Bakersfield Museum of Art and group exhibitions at the Asian Art Museum, de Young Museum, MarinMOCA, among others."</p>

<p>Susan’s love of the East End knows no bounds, she grew up in Sagaponack, and all of her K-12 schooling happened there. She went to the Sagaponack school,where her stepfather went before her and her little sister went after her. She met her first true love in kindergarten at the John Marshall School in East Hampton, which she describes in the book. When she was seven her mother Tinka Topping helped start The Hampton Day School, which she and her sisters all attended. As a teenager she ran a summer camp, for children (with Stacey Fredericks) called 'Small Potatoes. Many years later, she, her mother, her sister Kathy Engel, and her brother-in-law Jon Snow, were all part of the group that started the Hayground School. She relishes the chance to talk about this beloved project at the Bridgehampton Museum, which celebrates the history of her childhood home.</p>

<p>East   End Jazz is proud to announce the launch of “Tiny Toes &amp; The Jazz Crew,”   a groundbreaking, interactive concert series designed to bridge the gap   between early childhood playtime and the professional performing arts. This   multi-generational experience invites families to step into a world where   nursery rhymes blend seamlessly with jazz standards, proving that great music   knows no age limit.</p>
<p>“We   wanted to create a space where the next generation doesn’t just listen to   music, but feels it,” says Iris Ornig, Director of East End Jazz. “By pairing   familiar melodies with sophisticated jazz arrangements, we’re inviting   families to participate in the rhythm, movement, and spontaneous joy that defines   this art form.”</p>
<p>This   isn’t your average performance. The series transforms playtime into a   high-level artistic exchange, allowing children to experience jazz through   the lens of play. Led by a “Jazz Crew” of professional musicians from Long   Island and NYC, the ensemble serves as both performers and mentors, guiding the   audience through a journey of syncopation, scat-singing and instrumental   discovery.</p><p>Co-sponsored with the Bridgehampton Museum and East End Jazz.</p></td>
