Calling all makers, creatives, artists, and writers! Bring your supplies and join us for a casual and no-pressure environment to make art together. A reimagined Late Night Open Studio, the Makers Night & Open Studio, invites artists of all types to gather and make art together alongside our current artists-in-residence, James Esber and Madjeen Issac . Visit their studios to see their work, gain inspiration, and chat about process. Passionate about fostering creativity in its space and establishing an oasis for creative inspiration and connection, The Church welcomes you to break out of your solitary studio and make art with others!
Attendees are responsible for bringing all of their own supplies (including easels). The Church is providing its studio (including tables and chairs) for artists to utilize, as well as an environment of conviviality. Please note, there is limited capacity, and this program will operate on a first-come, first-served basis—Reserving your ticket through our website will guarantee you a spot in the studio. Furthermore, artists are responsible for all their own cleanup; clean up should begin half an hour before the event concludes. Operation of the monotype press will not be permitted. Thank you!
Come celebrate with us! Stop in anytime between 6 PM and 7:30 PM on October 4th to get the first look at our 2025 Fall Exhibition Here & There: The First Churchennial during our opening reception. A multi-media exhibition, Here & There highlights the artists residency program at The Church from its first three years, 2021 through 2024.
Central to our mission to ensure that Sag Harbor continues its long history as a thriving center for makers and artists, this year-round residency program has featured over 128 artists and thinkers from around the world and from our community. More than 40 of those artists will be on view in all visual art media including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and video art, in addition to events and workshops in performance, music, and the written word.
