Neoteric-Networking Moves From Amagansett to Water Mill

The Parrish Art Museum’s wildly popular PechaKucha programs, each of which features rapid-fire presentations by creative East End residents, has spawned an offspring of sorts. Neoteric Night, which will happen tomorrow at 6, is a networking event focused on, but not limited to, visual artists, writers, dancers, designers, craftsmen, and anybody interested in meeting and perhaps collaborating with other creative people.

The evening will be hosted by Scott Bluedorn, a painter, photographer, furniture maker, and founder of Neoteric Fine Art, which presents work by young and established East End Artists. Participants have been asked to send three to five digital images (jpeg format, maximum one megabyte each), video files (1074 x 768, .mov format, two minutes maximum), or audio files (two minutes maximum) by the end of today to [email protected]. Live performances by individuals with minimal gear will be welcomed. There is no selection process; everybody submitting will be accepted.

The program grew out of discussions between Mr. Bluedorn and Andrea Grover, the museum’s curator of special projects. “She approached me and asked if I would like to host a night. I had mentioned to her previously the idea of an artists’ show-and-tell networking event for artists to share what they’re working on and whom they might like to collaborate with.”

The presentations, which will be limited to two minutes, will be followed by the opportunity for participants to network. The evening is open to the general public.

Mr. Bluedorn is working on a number of different projects. He is doing illustration work for various local businesses, including the Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, and is creating large drawings that will be included in “Radical Seafaring,” a group exhibition that will open at the Parrish in May.

Neoteric Night, which will take place in the museum’s theater, will cost $10; members and students will get in for free.
