HamptonsFilm and Guild Hall’s Winter Classic series returns with HamptonsFilm Co-Chair, Alec Baldwin and Artistic Director, David Nugent, presenting Alan J. Pakula’s 1976 landmark film, All The President’s Men.
Released four years after the Watergate scandal that began Richard Nixon’s downfall, the film won four Academy Awards® and is widely considered one the definitive political thrillers in movie history. Starring Robert Redford as Bob Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein, Pakula’s follow-up to Klute and The Parallax View cemented him as one of the most important American filmmakers of his generation.
In a post-screening discussion, Alec Baldwin and David Nugent will look at the legacy and influence of the film nearly 50 years after its release.

The 2025 Student Art Festival: Rauschenberg 100 honors the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg’s birth by joining an international museum initiative organized by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Guild Hall will partner 10 Public Schools and 10 East End Artists to collaboratively delve into what Rauschenberg called the “gap between art and life,” valuing chance and collaboration in a wide range of materials, subjects, styles, and creative techniques.
The Festival concludes with an exhibition of new works and creative presentations by the partnered public schools and artists, and a special presentation of Rauschenberg’s work held in Guild Hall’s permanent collection. The permanent collection exhibition will be co-curated by the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council and Museum Director & Curator of Visual Arts, Melanie Crader.

ABOUT THE STUDENT ART FESTIVAL
The Guild Hall Student Art Festival (SAF) is a beloved tradition that encourages and celebrates the artistic achievement and imagination of students, Kindergarten to Grade 12, on the South Fork of Long Island. Through close collaboration with schoolteachers and districts, we explore an annual theme, partner each participating school with regional artists, produce an exhibition of new works, and link the tenets of creative production to civic participation.
Almond Zigmund makes large-scale site-responsive installations, discrete sculptures, works on paper, and paintings that explore the interplay between space, perception, and the built environment. Her work is characterized by crisp geometry, vivid colors, and intricate patterns that often suggest walls, barricades, and enclosures. Zigmund is also the creator of Almond Artist & Writers, family-style dinners at the restaurant Almond in Bridgehampton where people come together to share and celebrate the artistic process; she has organized more than sixty-five gatherings to date. It is in this spirit of supporting the power of community engagement that Zigmund was invited to create a site-specific environment in conjunction with the exhibition Functional Relationships: Artist-Made Furniture.
Wading Room houses selections from Guild Hall’s permanent collection; functional, artist-made furniture for public use, including chairs designed by Almond Zigmund in collaboration with Justin Allen (Shepard Co Design); and other artist-made objects: lighting, chairs, rugs, stools, vessels, and sculpture. The artists Sabra Moon Elliot, Kurt Gumaer, Saskia Friedrich, Karen Simon, and Nico Yektai have also contributed to the space. A series of participatory public programs and collaborative projects will take place throughout the run of the exhibition.
We encourage visitors to linger, lounge, and interact in an artist-designed environment and to visit often to explore its potential.
This exhibition was organized by Melanie Crader, museum director and curator of visual arts, with Philippa Content, museum manager and registrar and Claire Hunter, museum coordinator and curatorial associate.

Have you always admired gorgeously-coloured embroidery? Are you eager to channel your inner Renaissance Queen? Then Crewelwork is for you… Crewelwork (or Crewel Embroidery) is often associated with England during the 16th to 18th centuries, and from England it was brought to the American colonies. It was particularly popular in New England, including our own Eastern Long Island! Crewelwork was primarily considered “women’s work” and thus was also used to convey subversive and feminist messages through symbolism.
Fiber artist Erica-Lynn Huberty will lead this 2-hour workshop where you will immerse yourself in vibrant colours, rich textures, and intricate designs. Crewel embroidery uses wool to create “surface” stitches, which are more textural than regular embroidery. A wide variety of stitches are used to follow a design outline applied to the fabric. There is no counting or math involved, Crewelwork is a style of free embroidery, similar to drawing. The workshop will teach participants stitches such as: stem stitch, chain stitch, satin, couched, seed and split stitches, and French knots. Participants will be given a choice of traditional designs drawn onto squares of woven linen and stitched using needles, wool thread, and an embroidery hoop.
This session will coincide with the release of Erica-Lynn Huberty’s new novel, The Crewel Wing. Books will be available for purchase on site.
The Art Social admission fee includes a complimentary glass of wine, beer, or a non-alcoholic beverage, and lite bites generously donated by Harbor Market & Kitchen in Sag Harbor.
