Brief Survey for the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum Education Program

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum is planning to pilot the Sag Harbor Maritime Conservation Center for Children with a summer education program. The program consists of four one-week sessions in which students ages 8-12 take classes that integrate marine conservation, art projects inspired by the Museum’s collection, and visits from local artists, maritime industry professionals, and environmentalists. Weekly session topics include: · Ocean Cycles and ‘Up Cycling” Marine Debris – Learn about ocean conservation and the challenge of marine debris in our seas and beaches. The program culminates in creating an art piece from recycled debris.  · Young Detectives - Learn about the life of Sag Harbor village children in ages past by deciphering clues from historical toys and objects. Design and build toys telling your story of village life today.  · Luring a Fish (or Whale!) – Discover techniques used by fisherman over the last 400 years. Visiting fishermen can teach the children how it’s responsibly done today including how they build traps, nets, lures and even shellfish hatcheries.  · A Young Person’s View: Telling Personal Stories Through Words and Pictures - Reflect on how villagers have told their stories of coastal life over time. Children work with local writers and artists to express their modern-day coastal experiences. The objectives are to: · Celebrate Sag Harbor’s maritime culture and history through the Museum’s collection and community.  · Engage children with local artists, writers, tradesman, and maritime industry professionals.  · Teach youth to engage with the waterfront and marine ecosystem in environmental responsible, culturally aware and creative ways. The sessions will have a capacity of 10-12 students and will be held in the Whaling Museum’s galleries, classroom and grounds. The classes are designed and led by a qualified marine science educator and teaching assistant with contributions from the Museum’s Curator and special guests. We ask that you kindly help us design our Pilot Program by providing feedback in the 1-minute survey here:

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum May 6th

Dear Friends, Our summer season has begun and we're officially open! We're thrilled to be kicking things off this weekend with our first exhibit, "de Kooning and Friends." Join us for the opening reception on Satuday, May 6thfrom 6:00 to 8:00pm. Our upcoming calendar of events and exhibits for May can be viewed below and our full 2017 summer season calendar can be viewed by clicking HERE. We hope to see you soon! - The Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum de Kooning and Friends Works by Mary Montes Opening Reception: Saturday, May 6th, 6:00 - 8:00pm May 6 - May 22 Artist Mary Montes' solo exhibition titled "de Kooning and Friends" is a passionate display of her abstract expressionistic figures of the New York School during the mid-late 20th century. An ever present inspiration to many of today's contemporary painters, these icons of the New York art scene that were instrumental in securing the American aesthetic's bold and energetic vibe, such as Willem de Kooning, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Costantino Nivola & Bob Rauschenberg are portrayed in her recent work fittingly shown at the Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum. Her work has been exhibited in the Lowe Art Museum, College of Arts and Science at Miami University, Andy Gato Galleries, Museum of Contempory Art (North Miami), and private art shows in Miami Beach as well as Spectrum Art Fair during Art Basel week. Montes is currently represented by Quogue Gallery in Quogue, NY, as well as Micheal Findlay Gallery and will participate in a group show curated by Peter Marcelle in June 2017. Mary Montes' abstract expressionistic figures of notables from the art world: Willem deKooning, Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollack, Leo Castelli & Bob Rauschenberg are fittingly appropriate for the historic venue of the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum. In addition to the focus on de Kooning, she intends to include works of the woman with this circle of artists, some of which were artists themselves, i.e., Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Ruth Klinsmann. Other subjects of the show include dealers such as Leo Castelli and friends of the New York school painters who spent time living and working in Long Island's East End. This exhibit is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor M. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council Inc.
