20 Jun Must-See East End Arts Events Through June
We could talk about how great the food, scenery, and wine on the East End is until we’re blue in the face, but that’s by no means all that our incredible area has to offer! Our friends over at East End Arts put together a collection of all the arts events going on out here, and we wanted to make sure that you know about the different gallery shows and performances happening throughout the month of June! This week, we’re going to focus on the North Fork Arts, but be sure to check back next week for Arts on the South Fork!
Rosalie Dimon Gallery
Jamesport Manor Inn, 370 Manor Ln., Jamesport | (631) 722-0500
The Jamesport Manor Inn partners with East End Arts to showcase incredible artists in our community. Thanks to public funding from Suffolk County, the partnership is able to introduce these up-and-coming artists to our neighbors, and we are all able to enjoy their art together.
Their current exhibit, which began on May 2 and will continue until July 30, features Anahi DeCanio’s painting “Turquesa,” and Michael Maas’s linocut titled “Bittersweet Vines,” along with many other pieces from both artists. The gallery is open for viewing Wednesday – Sunday, 12-10pm, during lunch and dinner service.
