Book Chat and Dancing in Water Mill at the Parrish This Weekend

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will hold a book club-style discussion tomorrow at 6 p.m. on “25 Women: Essays on Their Art,” a new book by Dave Hickey, an art critic as provocative as he is influential. The volume collects Mr. Hickey’s most important writings about female artists from the past 20 years. Tickets to the discussion, which will be led by Terrie Sultan, the museum’s director, and take place in the museum’s cafe, are $10, free for members and students.

While the book discussion is taking place, the museum’s Lichtenstein Theater will be undergoing preparation for Spring Fling, an annual dance party that benefits the institution’s education programs for children. The evening will feature live music by NOIZ, hors d’oeuvres and an open bar, a silent auction, and a gallery hunt with prizes for the winners. Tickets are $200, $150 for members.
