What an amazing season at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM) — the first designated African American landmark in the Village of Southampton, located on the historic site of Randy’s Barbershop.
In 2025, we celebrated art, music, and history with powerful programs and exhibitions, including:
Both/And: The Identities of Being Black and a Woman — created in collaboration with our local schools.
Doors Into My Life by Courtney Minor — a stunning exploration of self-discovery through art.
Our Juneteenth Celebration – “Music Matters” highlighted the East End’s rich musical legacy.
Art & Soul Hamptons weekend — featuring Shaunt’e Lewis’s bold new works and live African rhythms by Yacouba Sissoko.
The season closed with our Amistad Dance Ceremony at Culloden Beach and a historic collaboration connecting Montauk, Connecticut, and New Orleans in preserving the Amistad story.
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR
