Young Collectors Night
A Hamptons’ first – members of Young Collectors committees from a litany of prestigious museums in the tri-state area and independent young collectors are invited (under 40) to this convivial celebration of the arts and connoisseurship, while networking over fine wine tasting. These guests are pursuing their passion for possession. Join us at this fun networking mixer – share your collecting experiences while disclosing what artists are on your future acquisition list. It’s a great time and place “to see and be seen in the art scene.” Expert-led private tour of the fair, plus includes access to the entire fair.
Admission $75 – Register separately for Young Collectors Night.
La Fete Blanche – The White Party
It’s time to wear all white and accessorize. Join us, decked out in trendy white, (the new black) as a pre-celebration to July 14 Bastille Day, France’s Independence Day, while sipping on elegant French wine – a fun meet and greet. Bright, bold and chic. Come as a your own blank white canvas. Expert-led private tour of the fair, plus includes access to the entire fair.
