The Clothesline Art Sale is one of the most beloved and affordable art traditions in the Hamptons since its inception in 1946. For 80 years, it has provided accessible artwork to the community, while supporting the local artists who thrive here. Throughout our history, great artists such as Alfonso Ossorio, James Brooks, John Little, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Elaine and Willem de Kooning have shared their talents to support Guild Hall in this unique annual fundraising effort.

Art lovers everywhere will flock to Guild Hall looking for their next masterpiece. Works range in price from $75 to $3,500, with all proceeds split 50/50 between the artist and Guild Hall.

This year, Clothesline will be held in the galleries and in front of Guild Hall.

John Waters is back on the road with a whole new fast-moving crackpot comedy show that will beg the authorities to drop a net on both him and his rabidly insane audience. He knows his deviously demented fans will fight back with a limp-wrist fist.

He’s dressed to thrill and ready to rant about pro-punk conversion therapy, right-wing female-female impersonators, extreme amusement parks, even prank guerrilla placement of phony incendiary book titles in libraries that recently banned gay children’s classics. Yessir, the Duke of Dirt has reckless eyeballs and he’s lookin’ for you, lunatics!

Let’s all drill a hole in our heads so we’re high forever and crash the Kennedy Center! His filth followers don’t get off, they get on you and scream, “Go! Go! Go to the John Waters show!”

Going to Extremes. It’ll make you scream!

Join us at Earthplace for a healing and restorative Sound Bath session with Lisa Pak, the founder and owner of Hummingbird Healing Center in Westport!

Lisa’s Sound Bath Meditations are multi-instrumental soundscapes that begin with a short guided meditation to help participants relax as they lie down on yoga mats with blankets, bolsters, and eye pillows. As the soothing sounds wash over the participants (hence the term “sound bath”), Lisa allows the Himalayan bowls, Gongs, crystal bowls, and her voice to work their magic. She will incorporate natural sounds into her journey with rain sticks, bird whistles, palm fronds, and more. After the Sound Bath, participants feel more relaxed, refreshed, and at peace.

Sound Bath sessions will be held in a truly magical setting. Join us outdoors, under the pines, on the serene and beautiful grounds of our nature center (weather permitting). Bring your own yoga mat, blanket, or outdoor chair. In the case of inclement weather, sessions will move indoors.

Pre-registration is required. Limited spaces available, register today!

Slide into the second half of summer at our unmissable Silent Disco Dance Party in the Furman Garden. And your favorite DJ’s are back! Mister Lama will spin iconic disco and funk tunes, ZiggaSun will drop hip-hop and rap, beats, and Schvitz-a-Lot will blast the most danceable pop hits from the ’80s to today. Get your most fun-loving group of friends together and grab some headphones, choose your channel, and dance the night away under the stars in a high-energy, all-ages celebration of sound. And for those who don’t feel like dancing, spectating is almost as fun!

Wine, beer, cocktails, and snacks will be available for purchase from Louise & Howie’s Coffee Cart.
