A Red Dot Party to celebrate art with an Amagansett connection will be held on Saturday at the Jackson Carriage House in Amagansett. The Red Dot Party (and sale) takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. Underlying the event is an exhibition presenting artists with an Amagansett connection.

"Amagansett Art: Across the Years" presents a snapshot of the artistic life of Amagansett, according to exhibition organizers.
