Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art
28E Job’s Lane, Southampton 631-204-0383

Formerly (since 1979) specializing in American and English Furniture and 19th & 20th Century American Art, the gallery has evolved to encompass an eclectic mix of leading contemporary and traditional artists such as Andrew Hart Adler, Carolyn Beegan, Paton Miller, Rolph Scarlett, Joe Chierchio, Elizabeth Aline Colborne, and Thomas Cardone, as well as prized local works from the Peconic Bay Impressionists and it is the exclusive repository for the works of Nahum Tschacbasov.

Jeff Lincoln Collective Art and Design
200 North Sea Road, Southampton. 631-353-3445,

Located in a restored 19th century former power station in Southampton, New York, Collective by Jeff Lincoln brings together art and design in a compelling gallery environment. Important and rare mid-century furniture are presented along with contemporary furniture and lighting.
Highlighting the increasing fluidity between design and art, the Collective also exhibits work by important contemporary artists. The gallery’s unique presentation of art in conjunction with design continually probes the dialogue between the two as contemporary designers and artists dissolve the boundaries between these two worlds.

Mark Humphrey Gallery
10 Jagger Lane, Southampton (631) 283 3113

The Mark Humphrey Gallery was established in 1980 as a purveyor of posters, prints, miscellaneous art objects and framing. Over the past 35 years, The Gallery has evolved into one of the most respected in the Hamptons. Mark Humphrey strives to provide clients with the opportunity to buy beautiful contemporary works of art that are also viable investments. In carrying artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz, Donald Baechler, Helen Frankenthaler, Ross Bleckner and many others, Mark shows some of the most successful artists of the last 50 years.
A major part of the behind the scene activity is the art consulting business Mark has cultivated over the years. He has single-handedly provided the art for major corporations and law firms in New York, and many very large private residences in the Hamptons, working with designers, and privately with the clients. This is his favorite part of the business.

Ossorio Foundation
164 Mariner Drive, Southampton 631-287-2020

It was Alfonso Ossorio’s dream to preserve his artwork and conifer arboretum which was hailed by experts as the eighth wonder of the horticultural world. When he died at the age of 74, after living 40 years at the magnificent estate – The Creeks – in East Hampton, Ossario also left behind a remarkable legacy of diaries, photographs, letters and other historic materials documenting a lifetime of artistic and cultural activity. Unable to keep Ossorio’s home and studio at the Creeks, his heir and life partner, Edward (Ted) F. Dragon, settled on a commercial warehouse in neighboring Southampton as the location to begin the preservation of Ossorio’s legacy.
The warehouse was retrofitted as a lofty gallery space where visitors could come to experience the depth of Ossorio’s lifetime of work. In 2016 the foundation began a capital campaign to customize the space to house the permanent collection, and is envisioned to feature, finally, an arboretum setting befitting Ossorio’s aesthetic arrangement of trees and sculpture. It will serve as a new cultural destination for the region, joining other iconic artist foundations and cultural centers in the East End. An arts study center is planned as well which will partner the Ossorio Foundation with a major art teaching museum from an institution of higher learning.

Southampton Arts Center
25 Job’s Lane, Southampton 631-283-0967

Southampton Arts Center’s mission is to serve the East End community as a hub for arts and culture while preserving the iconic building and grounds of 25 Jobs Lane for future generations.
After taking over the former home of the Parrish Art Museum, SAC has become a hub for arts and culture on the East End. In 2017, the center drew 40,000 visitors, showed six exhibitions (including a portraiture show called “About Face” and another focusing on photography by Michael Halsband), and produced more than 200 events ranging from drawing workshops to jazz nights.
‘SAC is a totally vibrant place for the arts & the artists who make it. The current exhibition, TAKEOVER: Artists in Residence is a breath of fresh air & it was only further enhanced by the Thurs nite musical performance/art of Ryder Cooley & Hazel. Ryder & Hazel’s work is in the vein of the dark carnival & European cabaret — a unique voice that should not be missed. Can’t wait to get back there.’ Ric Kallaher on Facebook

Tripoli Gallery
30 Jobs Ln, Southampton 631-377-3715

Since 2005, Sag Harbor native and surfer, Tripoli Patterson, has organized, produced and curated contemporary art shows in various innovative locations around the East End of Long Island and New York City. In 2009 he opened Tripoli Gallery Southampton, to serve as a dynamic platform for artistic dialogue between local and international artists and the East End community.
Trip believes that each exhibition he curates acts as a frozen moment of those artists’ history – recorded, preserved, and globalized into perpetuity.
