Art from the Heart: A Community of Artists Helps a Community in Need
There are so many things to be said about living in Southampton: a gorgeous natural environment, a healthy cultural scene, and neighbors who care for one another.
On October 26th, 2024, the non-profit Southampton Artists Association (SAA) will host an exhibit and reception to benefit Heart of the Hamptons.
The SAA, comprising painters, photographers, sculptors, and multimedia artists, comes together several times a year to exhibit their work at the Levitas Art Gallery in the Southampton Cultural Center. For over 40 years, this organization has offered a place to nurture and support creative minds. These Suffolk County residents, bring to the table a wide variety of professional backgrounds and life experiences. This grassroots organization welcomes all and encourages members to hone their skills, exchange ideas, and inspire one another.
For this special event, SAA members are offering 10" by 10" works of art, both paintings and photographs, to be sold at $200 each, with 50% of the proceeds going to Heart of the Hamptons And 50% to the artist.
Heart of the Hamptons is far more than a food pantry, although this year alone, more than 300,000 meals have been distributed throughout the area. Their mission is simple: to offer help to those in need without discrimination and with dignity. They provide school supplies and lunches, emergency funds for rental assistance, heating or automobile fuel, utilities, and more. They serve veterans and seniors in need. This is all made possible by an amazing staff led by Molly Bishop and a team of more than 200 volunteers, a true band of angels.
