Southampton Village plays Cupid this year, delivering an original artistic expression of love in the “heart’ of downtown, in celebration of Valentine’s Day.Artist James Ding’s philosophy that “love is just as important as air, food and water,”  made it easy for Mayor Bill Manger to say yes to the North Sea Resident and sculptor’s offer to install his XOXO Hugs and Kisses Sculpture on the grounds of the Southampton Arts Center. The art piece will debut on the 13th and remain up for several weeks.
