Parrish Art Museum’s Programs for People with Special Needs

Parrish Art Museum’s Programs for People with Special Needs

The Parrish Art Museum is dedicated to serving all members of the community. Along with their wonderful exhibits and events, they also offer monthly programs enabling those with special needs to participate in art. There are programs for school students, young children and adults. Active partners with the Parrish include the Southampton and Hampton Bays schools Life Skills classes, East End Disability Associates, the Flying Point Foundation for Autism, the Southampton Fresh Air Home, The Retreat, New Hour for Women, and Long Island and Suffolk County Corrections. Hamptons.com recently spoke with Deputy Director of Arts Education Martha Stozky and Museum Educator Wendy Gottlieb about the special needs programs.

 

The goal of all the community programs is to enable everyone to have fun with art materials. These programs at the Parrish are a way into inner creativity for people with various challenges. They’re stress-free, expressive rather than tutorial. The aim is for everyone to have fun with art materials. They’re social events, too — some people have been attending them for years –they’re enjoying the process and making friends. During Covid these programs were offered on Zoom, and they are still available there.

 

There are online tours and workshops for groups of adults and children. Here are some of the programs offered.

 

High school students can attend a Life Skills class, where they learn skills like how to go shopping and how to do laundry. Students can continue to attend the class until they’re 21. Young people with developmental disabilities or autism can attend a class that begins with a visit to the Parrish gallery exhibits, then a return to the classroom to make art related to the exhibit they saw.

 

Paint with the Parrish Online is a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. PD Paint with the Parrish Online is for those with Parkinson’s disease and is offered through the Stony Brook Center for Parkinson’s Disease. Participants go into the galleries to see and discuss the current exhibit (questions are encouraged), then head back to the classroom and create a piece of art inspired by the exhibit. Art projects are tailored to each person’s needs — for example, someone who may have trouble holding a paintbrush can work with soft, moldable materials instead. One material they use is Model Magic, a product made by Crayola that’s similar to Play-Doh; it can be cut, colored, molded. Participants may paint, draw, make a collage or other piece, depending on their abilities. For these programs, caregivers and family members come along and also make art.

 

Martha explained that The Parrish believes that “Art can make people’s lives better as they age.” Their goal is to engage the entire community in art. And the adult programs continue to expand. Stony Brook Hospital has asked the museum to collaborate on an art program for cancer patients, their families and caregivers.

  • From Garden to Plate: Hunter Mangano’s Journey at Shou Sugi Ban House

At Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, you are immersed in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, or the art of impermanence. Known for its spa, nutrition, and lodging facilities, Shou Sugi Ban House was designed by New York and Hamptons architect Debbie Kropf, who artfully chose to infuse elements of the local Hamptons landscape with Japanese principals similar to that of the “ryokan” or a traditional Japanese inn. Aside from its serene and upscale spa services, Shou Sugi Ban House is set apart by its on-property greenhouse, gardens, berry patch, and orchard, all of which are used to make meals for guests of SSBH. @shousugibanhouse

  • The Best Coffee Shops in the Hamptons For a Perfect Brew

For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like heading into a local coffee joint, taking solace in the fact that it’s not an international chain. Quaint vibes alongside java that is brewed fresh and local is an experience that simply can’t be replicated at places like Starbucks, Panera, and Dunkin’. Not to say quality coffee can’t be found at these establishments, of course, there is a reason they are the most famous coffee chains in the world after all. But, in the Hamptons, it has always been about small-town charm and chain-everything being few and far between, from stores to restaurants to cafes and beyond.

So, whether you’re a Hamptons local, a vacationer on the East End, or are simply looking for the best local coffee spots in the area, we have a list of 10 must-try coffee shops for you.

  • A Glimpse Inside…East Hampton’s Most Talked About New Construction, Now Complete

Just completed in August 2023, 6 Marley Lane has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked about new constructions. Exclusively represented by The Vince Horcasitas Team at Saunders & Associates, to say they are excited about this rare new construction is an understatement.

Since its inception and throughout construction, the Hamptons real estate community has eagerly anticipated its completion. What has emerged at 6 Marley Lane is—almost impossibly—even more impressive in real life than in renderings.  @hamptonsrealestate @vinceinthehamptons

  • The History Behind The Two Most Prestigious Golf Courses in The Hamptons

With more than 140 golf courses across Long Island’s 118 Miles, the Hamptons is home to 15 of those courses two of which rank numbers 4 and 7 in the top 100 Golf Courses in the world. They say Long Island’s water makes for the best bagels, so it must be something in this soil that makes these famous greens.

  • Iconic Marders, More Than a Nursery

“Marders” is the high essence of a Hamptons Nursery and so much more. It is the epitome of success, situated on 40 acres of prime Bridgehampton real estate. Charlie Marder of 120 Snake Hollow Road, along with his wife Kathleen have built a monument that has been providing their expertise and services to the residents of the Hamptons for about fifty years.

The stories are now folklore. Back in the day, usually wearing his trademark suspenders, Charlie was ever ready to move the largest trees of the Hamptons whether they were to be planted, relocated, or removed. He once boasted to this reporter that he had the record for the widest load moved by the Shelter Island South Ferry. Charlie said he deposited a tree onto the ferry on one side and fetched it off the ferry on the other side, recalling, “The tree was wider than the ferry, sticking out on both sides.” @marderslandscaping
