A Small Taste of Freedom Exhibition
Now through December 27.
A Small Taste of Freedom is an exhibition by the photographer Lindsay Morris which resulted from a collaboration between Morris and the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council (GHTAC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Composed of portraits and audio interviews of GHTAC members living under New York State’s “stay at home” order, the exhibition captures the everyday happenings, coping mechanisms, and escape modes of area teens living through this historic moment. 158 Main Street, East Hampton. guildhall.org

2o2o Vision Exhibition

Southampton Arts Center and New York Academy of Art invited a talented group of creators to express what they saw, what they felt and what they experienced during this time of pause and reassessment, upheaval and risk, anxiety and uncertainty. 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton. southamptonartscenter.org
