The Church, a nonprofit arts center in Sag Harbor, N.Y., founded by the artists Eric Fischl and April Gornik, will begin to welcome visitors on April 15. Two tours of the center, a former Methodist church built in 1832, will be offered daily, Thursday through Monday.

After housing the Methodist Church of Sag Harbor from the early eighteen-hundreds until 2008, the historic structure was recently renovated by New York firm SKOLNICK Architecture + Design Partnership. The 12,000-square-foot adaptive reuse intervention created flexible spaces for exhibition as well as making, a resource library, a public garden, and on-site accommodations for an artist-in-residence program.
