We are pleased to offer a members exhibition tour of Dear Mazie, with our Executive Director Sheri Pasquarella.
Experience the beauty and wisdom in listening to and exchanging stories firsthand by joining us for this very special evening of storytelling. Programmed in tandem with our exhibition Dear Mazie, which celebrates the pioneering local legend and Azurest Co-founder, this program is a celebration of the enduring legacy and spirit of the historic Black Beach Front communities here in Sag Harbor.
Gain a deeper perspective and intimate understanding of our local historic Black beach front communities as we traverse memories, reflections, and impressions from the people who know the landscape the best: its residents.
The program will begin with Donnamarie Barnes and Michael Butler, two artists included in the exhibition whose families have lived in the community for generations. Following their story sharing, hear anecdotes and narratives from individuals with deep personal and family ties, including descendants of Amaza Lee Meredith.
And join us as we warmly welcome Steve Williams, President of the Azurest Property Owners Association and Karen Saah & Mark Price, residents of the historically Black community of Sag Harbor Hills.
A warm welcome to Stella Sands - Sag Harbor’s own bard of mystery and intrigue. The best-selling author kicks off our Insight Sunday series this fall, inviting readers and aspiring writers to contemplate the origins of story, the development of characters, and more as she shares her unique reflections on writing as a craft. How did a trash-talking tattooed linguistic savant and an old-fashioned observational genius sleuth come to be the main characters in her highly acclaimed fictional debut Wordhunter? And what led to their return to enthusiastic readers in the newly released sequel, Codebreakers (August 11, 2026, Harper Perennial).
As best-selling author of six true crime books and a fictional mystery series, Sands offers audiences the rare opportunity to examine the creative similarities and differences between telling a gripping true story and creating a scintillating fictional one. Following the discussion and Q&A there will be a book signing with books available to purchase.
Thank you to our community bookseller Book Hampton of East Hampton for joining us for this program!
Calling all songwriters and music enthusiasts, here’s an opportunity to learn from East End’s own lyrical mastermind, Inda Eaton! Eaton joins us for our musical November Insight Sunday, inviting audiences to peer into her creative world and gain insight into her songwriting process. Using her song “Once” from her album Shelter in Place as a portal, Eaton will reflect on her process and examine the inspiration and impetus driving her work. Following the discussion there will be a delightful Q&A with the audience.

Explore nature’s ephemeral metamorphosis with Roisin Bateman, an established artist born and trained in Ireland and Sag Harbor resident for forty years. Though not a traditional landscape painter, her work is known for its exquisite use of color to evoke nature’s continual change. Using her work Rising Air as the focus of exploration, Bateman will discuss her approach to making art and insights along the way. Following the presentation there will be a delightful Q&A with the audience.
In her pastel drawing, as in her use of thin layers of oil paint, beeswax in other works, Bateman illuminates the way colors appear and disappear in the crossing of air, water, warmth, light. Join us as we reflect on nature around and within us through an artist who sees more than what meets the eye.
Stop in ahead of the program, between November 20 – December 13, during our exhibition hours 11 AM – 5 PM, Thursday through Monday, to see Bateman’s work Rising Air in person.
