Join us for Spring Fling! An evening of art, dance, music, and food in support of the Parrish Art Museum’s educational programming.
This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of <a href="https://parrishart.org/education/access-parrish/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ACCESS PARRISH</a>, which was created to support our year-round community members living with a range of neurodivergent, physical, and cognitive disabilities, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism, cancer patients and survivors, as well as their family members and caregivers to promote health and wellbeing, build social connection and belonging, and foster interest and curiosity.
In recognition of this milestone, we are proud to honor Bobbie Braun, The Neuwirth Foundation, as our inaugural Civic and Community Leader Honoree, recognizing her unwavering commitment to our ACCESS PARRISH programming since its inception.
The event takes place alongside <a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/regeneration/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care</a>, the first exhibition in the Museum’s year-long series PARRISH USA250: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Responding to language in the Declaration of Independence that establishes “life” as one of the inalienable rights, Regeneration explores our responsibility to the various forms of life that sustain us. The exhibition explores the ecology of the East End through works inspired by local waters, forests, marine life, and native plants, with artists engaging deeply with sustainability and community.In addition, we are thrilled to present the Museum’s 73rd annual <a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/2026-student-exhibition/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Student Exhibition</a>, also on view during Spring Fling. The Student Exhibition highlights the next generation of East End artists in response to themes of regeneration and renewal.
Come celebrate community, art, education, and the life that connects us all!

Open to All, With Artist Sanford Biggers and Chief Curator Corinne Erni
May 16, 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

As we celebrate the opening of&nbsp;<a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/sanford-biggers/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sanford Biggers: Drift</a>, join us for a conversation between exhibiting artist Sanford Biggers and Corinne Erni, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator of Art and Education, who organized the exhibition.
Advance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door.
About the Exhibition Sanford Biggers: Drift&nbsp;presents the acclaimed artist’s first major solo presentation on the East End of Long Island, featuring new textile works, prints, indoor and outdoor sculptures, and site-responsive installations. Biggers (b. 1970, Los Angeles, CA) draws on a diverse range of influences, from Buddhism and Los Angeles graffiti culture to Gee’s Bend quilts and his own collection of African sculpture. Running throughout the exhibition is the cloud motif, a symbol that has engaged the artist for decades. Beginning with Biggers’ monumental ceiling installation Unsui (Cloud Forest)&nbsp;(2025), the exhibition traces the theme through his Codex&nbsp;series—sculptures and paintings made from repurposed antique quilts; a floor-based sand installation inspired by prayer rugs, breakdance floors, and Japanese Buddhist mandalas; and Of many waters…, a large-scale outdoor sculpture.Sanford Biggers: Drift&nbsp;is part of the Museum’s&nbsp;USA250: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, a year-long program organized in response to the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. The&nbsp;USA250&nbsp;exhibition series will reflect on the nation’s history and founding values, examine our present moment, and imagine new ways of moving forward, while recognizing the contributions of regional artists to the broader landscape of American art and culture. Through this exhibition, Biggers explores the theme of “Pursuit of Happiness.”
Sanford Biggers: Drift&nbsp;is co-organized by Corinne Erni, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator of Art and Education, and Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Parrish.
