The Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artist-in-Residence (WPR AiR) program offers artist collectives the time and space to research, experiment, and develop new ideas and projects. Artists are provided with creative mentorships, administrative support, a commissioning fee, living space, and a purpose-built studio.

Throughout several 2-4 weeklong residencies, residents connect with accomplished artists, community leaders, and philanthropists at weekly salon dinners. They receive mentorship from select members of the Guild Hall Academy of the Arts, closer collaborators, and professional staff, while visiting artist studios, cultural centers, and the natural landscape of the Hamptons. The program culminates with a works-in-process presentation for an invited or public audience.

Artist Collectives selected for the 2023 Guild Hall WPR AiR include Hamptons Dance Project, Music From The Sole, The Beatbox House, and Jacob Jonas The Company.
