As part of <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Land: Considering the American Landscape</a>, The Church presents a talk with Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella exploring the origins of American art, artists, and the art market beginning with the Hudson River School. Drawing connections between the exhibition's 19th-century paintings and contemporary artists working today, the lecture will examine how ideas about landscape, nationhood, community, and value have shaped American art for nearly two centuries.
This Land juxtaposes works from the Hudson River School—America's first major art movement—with contemporary artists whose practices both draw upon and challenge enduring notions of the American landscape. Less widely known is that this same period also witnessed the emergence of the American art market, the founding of some of the nation's earliest museums and art schools, and the development of collecting practices that continue to influence the global contemporary art world.
What was the Hudson River School, and why did it become so influential? How did its rise coincide with the creation of America's cultural institutions? When did the term "speculator" first enter conversations about emerging artists and the art market? And how do these histories continue to shape the ways art is exhibited and collected today?
Drawing on nearly a decade of independent research presented at Yale University, Columbia University, Christie's Education, and other institutions, Pasquarella will place American art in the broader context of culture, community-building, and the market, offering a fascinating look at the historical forces that continue to shape artistic production and patronage today.

Join us for a stellar performance from poetic powerhouse Pamela Sneed! Following a sold out run at Joe’s Pub last year, Sneed’s A Tribute to Big Mama Thornton comes to The Church for a rollicking evening of music, storytelling, and a celebration of the unsung Black woman founder of rock and roll, who brought us classics like “Blue Suede Shoes,” and “You Ain’t Nothing but a Hound Dog.”
Written and conceived by Sneed, A Tribute to Big Mama Thornton is a cabaret performance that sees a live band weaving together monologue as Sneed sings, speaks, and celebrates the life and music of Willie Mae Thornton’s. With an eye toward restorative justice, this performance gives credit back to Thornton’s musical legacy and is a valuable educational asset. Sneed is joined by band members Viva DeConcini (musical director) Mara Rosenbloom, and David A. Barnes. 
Grab a drink from our concession table and enjoy the show!
This Performance has been programmed in tandem with our Summer Exhibition <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">THIS LAND: Considering the American Landscape</a>, which can be viewed June 21 – September 6 during our exhibition hours 11 AM – 5 PM, Thursday-Monday.

Ahoy! The Sons of Town Hall are set to return to the shores of Sag Harbor for another evening of music, storytelling, laughter, and whimsy. Pulled back to The Church by the current of popular demand, the 19th- century vagabonds Josiah Chester Jones and George Ulysses Brown, mythic characters played by the transatlantic folk duo of American songwriter &amp; author David Berkeley and British songwriter &amp; producer Ben Paker, take audiences on another amazing adventure.From the simply sensational artistry of their original songs to their impeccable comedic timing, The Sons treat audiences to an evening of delightful imaginative play and reprieve from the stresses of the modern world. Take it from those who joined us the last time The Sons were here, this is a show you need to experience!
“Think Simon &amp; Garfunkel lost at sea and you get a sense of the mythic world at play here,” says Philadelphia Inquirer. The Observer notes The Sons of Town Hall as having “seamless vocal harmonies, sorties of sea voyages, betrayal and desolation.” 
The Son’s of Town Hall’s bewitching melodies and intricate guitar work are captivating in their own right, but this duo does more than simply sing and strum. They have invented an entirely new performance genre—part concert, part theater, part performance art—and have also created a wild comic-fiction podcast called <a href="https://sonsoftownhall.com/madmencrossthewater/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Madmen Cross The Water,</a> which tells their adventures in elaborate detail. Listeners and concertgoers alike are left transfixed and transformed, in awe of Sons of Town Hall’s harmonies and drunk on adventure and the tragic beauty of the human condition. 
This Concert has been programmed in tandem with our Summer Exhibition <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">THIS LAND: Considering the American Landscape</a>, which can be viewed June 21 – September 6 during our exhibition hours 11 AM – 5 PM, Thursday-Monday. The show is a whimsical collision of the 19th century and today’s music – a fun and surprising reflection of the elements of the exhibition.

Reflect on ecology, sustainability, and interconnectedness with esteemed sculptor Meg Webster as she joins co-curator Donna De Salvo in conversation. Examining her two sculptures Moss Bed King (1986-88/2026) and Steel Containing Salt (1990), which are both included in the summer exhibition <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Land: Considering the American Landscape</a>, Webster and DeSalvo enter into organic dialogue centered on Webster’s work as a whole. Following the discussion, there will be an insightful Q&amp;A. 
Working primarily with organic materials such as moss, water, stone, wood, and soil, Webster transforms natural elements into immersive sculptural environments. Her work invites viewers to consider nature as a vital and inseparable part of human experience rather than something distant or remote from daily life. Webster’s work contributes to important 20th
century artistic movements and innovations, lending itself specifically to Land Art and Minimalism. Webster’s two sculptures can be viewed ahead of the talk during our exhibition hours: Thursday – Monday between 11 AM – 5 PM.

Join us for our second concert of the 2026 summer season with Hamptons Jazz Fest and welcome Trio Libre! Trio Libre is a project by Latin Grammy–winning percussionist Samuel Torres, featuring a minimalist trio of congas, piano, and vibraphone. The ensemble explores a stripped-down approach to jazz and Afro-Latin music through rhythm, texture, and improvisation. Join us for a vibrant evening straight from the heart! 
 
TRIO LIBRE is led by Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based percussionist and composer Samuel Torres, a Latin Grammy Award winner known for his work across jazz, Latin, and classical music. The project presents a deliberately reduced instrumentation of congas, piano, and vibraphone, performed by Torres alongside pianist Carmen Staaf and vibraphonist Felipe Fournier.
Developed as a contrast to larger ensemble formats, Trio Libre focuses on a minimal sound built around interaction and sonic clarity. The music emphasizes rhythmic dialogue, harmonic space, and collective improvisation, drawing from Afro-Latin traditions while engaging with jazz and elements of the Western classical repertoire.

Arcmanoro Niles, esteemed East End visual artist and visionary, joins us as our August Insight Sunday speaker. Included in <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Land: Considering The American Landscape</a>, Niles has created a unique painting specifically for the exhibition. Niles invites audiences to see deeply into the work, learn about his process, and gain insight into the wellspring of his creativity. Following the discussion there will be a Q&amp;A and the audience will then be led upstairs into the gallery to view the work in person. 
A painter known for working with vivid and bright hues, Niles’s new painting is reflective of how much landscape has become a part of his practice. He says, “I began to realize how important my relationship to nature was. In this painting I wanted to capture the feeling of the day ending looking out into the fading sky, an attempt to connect and reset watching the sunset, contemplating what tomorrow might bring.”
As a visual artist, Niles creates paintings that expand our understanding of traditional genre painting and portraiture. His work he offers a window into seemingly mundane moments of daily life—a child seated at the table for breakfast, a man about to get into his car, a couple in their bedroom—with subjects drawn from photographs of friends and relatives and from memories of his past. 
Niles’s work included in This Land offers viewers a window into a present day reflection and the hope of what lies in the future. Stop by during our exhibition hours, Thursday – Monday, 11 AM – 5 PM to view the work in person.

Join us for a very special screening of the documentary short film Earth, I Thank You: The Garden and Legacy of Anne Spencer. The film had its world premiere at the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture and its New York premiere at The Frick Collection. The documentary explores the historic sanctuary of Harlem Renaissance poet, civil rights advocate, and gardener Anne Spencer. The 37- minute documentary celebrates the cultural and historical significance of the Anne Spencer House and Garden Museum in Lynchburg, VA. It is rare for a historic house and garden to survive intact—especially one belonging to an African American. The film screening will be followed by a powerful discussion on preservation and legacy between Brent Leggs, the President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and poet Kevin Young, 2026 Griffin Poetry Prize recipient and National Book Critics Circle Awardee. The discussion will then open to a thoughtful Q&amp;A with the audience. 
This program is presented in tandem with our summer exhibition, This Land: Considering the American Landscape. Reflecting upon the 250th anniversary of the United States, the film explores the people and histories that have shaped the American experience and our understanding of the land itself.
A legendary Harlem Renaissance poet, civil rights advocate, and passionate gardener, Anne Spencer housed and entertained numerous luminaries and civil rights leaders including Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, Zora Neale Hurston, Thurgood Marshall, George Washington Carvver, and Dr. Martin Luther King in her Virginia home. Her garden features a sculpture gifted to Spencer by W.E.B Du Bois and is one of the most significant examples of a preserved African American garden in the United States. A modest and deeply personal space, the garden is imbued with stories of civil rights advocacy, literary genius, and the many historic figures who walked its paths. 
Appearing in the film are key figures in the world of historic preservation and African American history. Brent Leggs, CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, offers insights into the significance of preserving this site. Peggy Comett, Curator of Plants at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello; Dr. Reuben M. Rainey, Professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and co-author of a book on Anne Spencer; and Dr. Noelle Morrissette, Director of African American and African Diaspora Studies at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and author of a book on Anne Spencer, discuss the horticultural heritage and legacy of the garden and its role in shaping African American cultural identity. The film was produced for The Garden Conservancy by artist Kate Cordsen.

Explore the interpretation of homeland and landscape with award-winning Indigenous visual artist and filmmaker Sky Hopinka. A member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and descendant of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, Hopinka’s work examines the correlation between language and culture in relation to home and land. Joined in conversation by The Church’s Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella, Hopinka will speak about his body of work, including the four video works included in <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Land: Considering the American Landscape</a>, his creative process, and the importance of Indigenous cinema in our cinematic landscape. Following the discussion there will be a Q&amp;A with the audience and the opportunity to view the works in the main gallery space. 
Hopinka has described his work to Filmmaker Magazine, saying: “deconstructing language [through cinema] is a way for me to be free from the dogma of traditional storytelling and then, from there, to explore or purpose more of what Indigenous cinema has the possibility to look like.” The award-winning filmmaker, whose films have shown in various festivals including Sundance, New York Film Festival, among others, digs deep into the personal and is reflected through documentary and other forms of non-fiction media. 
Currently an assistant professor of film for Harvard University, Hopinka invites audiences to learn, reflect, and examine the Indigenous landscape of this land. 
Stop by during our exhibition hours Thursday – Monday, 11 AM – 5 PM, to view Hopinka’s work in person and to take in the work of over a dozen additional artists included in <a href="https://www.thechurchsagharbor.org/this-land-considering-the-american-landscape" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This Land</a>.

From Bob Crawford, the grammy-nominated bassist for the Avett Brothers, comes an astounding biography on the extraordinary life and legacy of John Quincy Adams, America’s sixth president. America’s Founding Son: John Quincy Adams, from President to Political Maverick (March 2026, Zando), paints a powerful portrait of an often-overlooked former president, whose fierce independence, nimble activism for democracy, and early crusade against slavery echo today. Joined in conversation by American journalist and political commentator John Avlon, Crawford will dive deep into a tumultuous period of the past and surface with the eerie similarities to modern times. Following the discussion there will be a Q&amp;A and book signing. 
Timelier than ever, Crawford’s biography does an incredible job of illuminating the valuable lessons and insights history holds for us. One of the strongest voices against Andrew Jackson’s “Make America Great Again” campaign and Jackson’s unprecedented executive overreach, John Quincy Adams became a political maverick whose grassroots activism and defiance of dictatorial gag-rules shifted the American political landscape forever. 
Join us as we learn how the musician’s quiet obsession with books on American history turned him into an unlikely but widely popular public historian and experience real time his gift for making the past feel urgent. 
A very special thank you to Book Hampton for being our community bookseller for the program!
