WILLOUGHBY, the new art salon by Pamela Willoughby and Johnny Pierce, located at Vine + Sand, will have artwork by acclaimed artists Agathe Snow and Randy Polumbo on display throughout October. Snow, who lives and works on the North Fork, creates dioramas, tableaux and paintings from found objects infused with mushroom DNA from her Mattituck farm. Polumbo uses mycelium to fill molds and circumscribe his vision in combination with glass and metal. View the works at the newly renovated Vine + Sand (originally a farmhouse from the 1820s), and enjoy both the interior design and captivating art on display.
