The Hamptons doesn't have a lock on art exhibitions worth seeing on Long Island. Adjacent to the East End, expect to find new site-responsive outdoor installations, photographs of wildlife and a survey of Long Island contemporary art. Organized by town, we’ve selected three shows to know about taking place on Long Island in Suffolk County in the first half of July.
