The Parrish Art Museum

ABOUT THE PARRISH ART MUSEUM: The Parrish Art Museum is a place to discover and connect with art and artists with a focus on the rich creative legacy of Eastern Long Island and its global impact on the art world. The Museum regularly presents temporary exhibitions, including new installations drawn from our world-class collection of more than 3,600 works; as well as special exhibitions that reconsider the work of a single artist or group exhibitions that explore compelling themes. The Parrish produces hundreds of public programs and offers a year-round schedule of inspiring education initiatives. Situated within one of the most concentrated creative communities in the United States, the Parrish Art Museum is a vital cultural presence on the East End of Long Island. It is the oldest cultural institution on the East End of Long Island. Founded in 1898 by Samuel L. Parrish in the Village of Southampton, the Museum opened its new Herzog & de Meuron designed facility in Water Mill in 2012, providing for expanded services in research, interpretation, collaboration, education, and interactive, multidisciplinary programming.
