SAC Public Art Project: Outdoor Sculpture and Art Installation
On view June 27–September 13

Beginning this Saturday, Southampton Art Center’s (SAC) new Public Art Project, a collaboration between SAC Artistic Director Amy Kirwin and artist Eric Fischl, will utilize the grounds on the east and west sides of the gallery to exhibit outdoor sculptures and installations that will reflect nature and the new normal of life during a pandemic. The intention is not only to offer an open-air experience that welcomes guests to roam freely and safely, but to draw attention to artists that use nature and humanity as an inspiration for their work. Artists on view include Fischl, Bryan Hunt, Laurie Lambrecht, Alice Hope, Steve Miller and Saskia Friedrich.

Guests can also explore Takeover 2020! Artists-in-Residence, the exhibition that was interrupted by SAC’s temporary closure in March. It will remain on view inside the gallery through Sunday, July 12. Southampton Arts Center, 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton. 631-283-0967, southamptonartscenter.org
