This draft page is to preserve the language from the 2024 725 Art Show announcement in case it’s useful in 2025! — Brook Cosby (Mallon’s friend, volunteer)

The “725 Art Show” was originally conceived by the late Elinor and Bob McDade. It was an annual exhibit restricted to resident Sag Harbor artists (“725” refers to the original Sag Harbor telephone exchange) that was held at the Goat Alley Gallery located at the corner of Henry and Division Streets.

In 2018 the show moved to the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum, and was held there again one year later, both curated by Museum staff member Michael A. Butler.

After a hiatus of five years (due in part to the COVID epidemic), the SHWHM is pleased to again host this exhibition featuring painting, sculptures and photography by our local residents, and is also delighted that Mr. Butler (now retired from the Museum) has returned as guest curator. Former participating artists include Roisin Bateman, Linda Capello (Lenke), Barbara Hadden, Reynold Ruffins, Peter Solow, Kathryn Szoka and Frank Wimberley.

The Exhibit opens Saturday, September 7, 2024, with a free opening reception held from 5-7pm. All works are for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Museum.

Local Artists: Gesso your canvas, lay out your palette, and ready your brushes!

We are seeking submissions for the beloved 725 Art Show, returning September 7th.

Space is limited • Reserve your entry today

WHAT ART IS ACCEPTABLE?

Paintings, Photographs, Sculptures — pretty much anything you would like. Only one piece of work per artist is allowed. Hanging works must be framed, wired and ready to hang, and be no more than 14” x 18.”

WILL THE ART BE FOR SALE?

Yes! All works will be offered for sale during the run of the exhibit (about a month long, ending at the close of the season). As in the past, the artist and the Museum will split the proceeds 50/50. Price point is up to the artist, but in past shows we have found $50-$400 to be the “sweet spot.” The Museum will handle all delivery details with the purchaser and cut a check for the artist.

WHEN TO DELIVER ART?

Please bring your work to the Museum on Tuesday September 3rd or Wednesday September 4th, between 10am and 4pm. There will be a bit of paperwork to fill out upon delivery that should take no more than five minutes to complete.

AFTER THE EXHIBIT CLOSES:

Artists will have one week after the exhibit ends to pick up any unsold work.
