The Church in Sag Harbor: A Repurposed 1836 Sanctuary, Now an Arts Center

Award-winning architect Lee Skolnick discusses his recent work on The Church, an artist residency, exhibition space, and creativity center in Sag Harbor, NY. The Church is an adaptive reuse and restoration project, undertaken by SKOLNICK Architecture + Design Partnership. It returns a once-shuttered religious structure back to its community as a vibrant center for creativity. The original 1836 sanctuary housed the Sag Harbor Methodist Church until 2008, when the congregation relocated. The re-imagined facility features an artists-in-residence program with on-site accommodations, flexible spaces, exhibition galleries, a resource library, and public garden.
