Okay, I have to admit this--I love attending exhibitions, theater and concert series just as they bow out of existence. There's something about slipping in at last moment--just before the bell rings--that can make the cultural experience that much sweeter. Regardless of where you fall on the philosophical attendance spectrum, following is a curated list of exhibitions closing shortly in the Hamptons - East End and New York City.
