DISPATCH - NOV 2, 2012 (3:23 p.m.)
HAMPTONS & RIVERHEAD, NY
The gas shortage--combined with trying conditions from Hurricane Sandy--has some rethinking their weekend plans for art. Cancelling but rescheduling are "Small Works / Big Views" at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, NY and the opening reception for "Anna Jurinich" at Peter Marcelle Gallery in Bridgehampton, NY. Late last night, the Parrish Art Museum announced on its website that Open House events for the new museum would not take place.
The "Small Works / Big Views" benefit exhibition has been postponed until 2013. Jurinich's solo show opened as planned but the artist reception has been postponed to Saturday, Nov 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Parrish's VIP Open House events were rescheduled to next weekend.
Reasons ranged from the gas shortage--preventing people from driving to galleries--to lingering difficulties from Hurricane Sandy, said artists and gallery owners.
