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

Free for Members | Free for Resident Benefits PassHolders | $25 Guests of Member | $30 Adults | Free for Students &amp; Children
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.

In celebration of&nbsp;<a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/fresh-paint-tschabalala-self/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self</a>, join us for a conversation&nbsp;in the Lobby&nbsp;with exhibiting artist Tschabalala Self and New York-based writer, curator, and historian Camille Okhio, whose newly commissioned essay reflects on Self’s&nbsp;Adam and Eve&nbsp;(2025).
Advance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door.
About the Exhibition For the sixth iteration of the collaborative&nbsp;FRESH PAINT&nbsp;exhibition series, the Parrish Art Museum and The FLAG Art Foundation are pleased to present work by the artist Tschabalala Self (American, b. 1990 in Harlem, NY). Self’s painting&nbsp;Adam and Eve&nbsp;(2025), made for her recent solo exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, is presented for the first time in the U.S. at the Parrish.
FRESH PAINT&nbsp;is a rotating series of single-artwork exhibitions at the Parrish that spotlight new or rarely exhibited works by both emerging and established artists. By circumventing traditional exhibition planning timelines—which can extend years into the future—FRESH PAINT&nbsp;provides a platform for artists to promptly showcase freshly created artworks and ideas, allowing for a more direct response to current issues and cultural movements. This approach fosters a timelier dialogue between the Museum, visitors, and our surrounding community. Presented in the Parrish’s Creativity Lounge located in the Lobby,&nbsp;FRESH PAINT&nbsp;is open to the public at no charge during regular Museum hours.
FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self&nbsp;is organized by Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Parrish Art Museum, in collaboration with Jon Rider, Director; Caroline Cassidy, Deputy Director; and Madeline DeFilippis, Exhibitions and Programs Manager, at FLAG.
Exhibition Support FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of The FLAG Art Foundation.

Panel discussion with artist Sara Siestreem and members of the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers, Moderated by Associate Curator Scout Hutchinson
May 24, 2 PM - 3 PM

Free for Members | Free for Resident Benefits PassHolders | $25 Guests of Member | $30 Adults | Free for Students &amp; Children
Join us in the Lichtenstein Theater for a conversation between artist Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos) and members of the <a href="https://www.shinnecockkelpfarmers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Shinnecock Kelp Farmers</a> to celebrate their collaborative work presented in the exhibition&nbsp;<a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/regeneration/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care</a>. The conversation will be moderated by Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art.
The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers are an intergenerational collective of Indigenous women who are restoring the ancestral Shinnecock tradition of seaweed harvesting to address pollution in local waters. In 2024, Siestreem began working closely with these water protectors to learn about their project and the significance of Sugar Kelp to Shinnecock lifeways. A traditional source of food, medicine, and natural fertilizer, the kelp also absorbs excess nitrogen, helping to clean the water of harmful contaminants that impact human and aquatic life. Drawing on Siestreem’s myriad processes—from abstract mark making and basket weaving to Xerox transfers—the works created for Regeneration reflect her collaboration with the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers and their shared emphasis on Indigenous land rights, community engagement, and ecological restoration.
Advance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door.
About the Exhibition Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care (February 22–June 14, 2026) showcases works that emerge from the convergence of ecological art, environmental action, and community collaboration. The exhibition presents eleven intergenerational artists with strong ties to Long Island and New York—including Scott Bluedorn, Jeremy Dennis (Shinnecock), Sasha Fishman, Maya Lin, Tucker Marder, Mamoun Nukumanu, Randi Renate, Cindy Pease Roe, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos), Alan Sonfist, and Michelle Stuart—whose works stem from an active involvement with the environmental challenges that impact the East End. Addressing rising sea levels, depleted natural habitats, and ocean pollution, the artists in Regeneration approach these issues from a place of curiosity, hope, and shared responsibility, ultimately modeling restorative ways of engaging with our ecosystems.

Hallockville Museum Farm

Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber -- from raw fleece to finished textile -- at its historic North Fork campus.
A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, spinning, and weaving demonstrations, along with a marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional fiber artists and artisans.
A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem-solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the Paumanok Weavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat needle-felted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and basket weaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using natural materials such as silk, seagrass, and wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.
In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their fiber arts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.
“The Fleece &amp; Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the North Fork,” said Executive Director Heather Johnson. “It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire makers today.”
The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers.
Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
Location: Hallockville Museum Farm, 6038 Sound Avenue, Riverhead
