Meet the Artists

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will present two opportunities for engagement with artists whose work is on view in “Artists Choose Artists.” Tomorrow at 6 p.m., Suzanne Anker, Ben Butler, Bill Komoski, and Toni Ross will give intimate talks in the galleries about their creative processes. Donald Lipski, the juror who selected Ms. Anker and Mr. Butler, is also scheduled to attend.

The museum will screen the “Artists Choose Artists” video on Friday, Dec. 23, at 6 p.m. The video documents the Parrish curators’ visits to the artists’ studios. Several of the artists will be available to discuss their work in the galleries following the screening.

Each program is $10, free for members and students. The exhibition will continue through Jan. 16.

“Materiality and Process,” the fifth annual reinstallation of the museum’s permanent collection, is on view now through November 2017. Ninety paintings, sculptures, mixed-media works, and works on paper, including recent acquisitions by artists new to the collection, have been organized into nine thematic narratives.
