With Daniel Patry
In the rush of daily life, finding a moment of true stillness can feel like a challenge. Join us for The Art of Meditation, a special two-hour workshop designed to demystify mindfulness and help you build a practice that actually sticks.
This course treats meditation as a creative, personal process. We will explore meditation as an art form in its own right, requiring the same practice, patience, and curiosity we bring to any creative endeavor. Through a blend of guided, accessible techniques and low-pressure group discussion, participants will learn how to train their attention and cultivate calm amidst the noise.
Whether you are a total beginner or looking to refresh your approach, you will leave with a toolkit for finding clarity and presence. No experience is necessary—just bring yourself and a willingness to explore.
Join Museum Director & Curator of Visual Arts, Melanie Crader, for a special mixed-bag Arts Social. For this session we will pull from skills we’ve learned over the past 18 months to create unique works of art in a variety of media. Artwork produced during this class can be used as a Clothesline Art Sale entry or taken home for your personal enjoyment. Over the course of the two hours, we will also collaborate on an exquisite corpse artwork to be sold at Clothesline Art Sale on July 22.
Note: Admission to this Art Social will be applied towards your Clothesline registration.

Presented by the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council and the East Hampton Ladies’ Village Improvement Society
Sustainability meets style in this joyful celebration of creativity and care for our planet. GHTAC x LVIS: Teen Fashion Show features imaginative designs made from repurposed and upcycled materials, inspired by the Guild Hall Exhibition Claire Watson: Re-Paired.
Known for transforming found textiles and worn garments through deconstruction and reconstruction, Watson’s practice guided the creative process. Over several months, the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council (GHTAC) collaborated with the artist and LVIS volunteers, exploring recycled fabrics and patchwork-inspired techniques. They stepped into the role of designers—taking apart, reshaping, and reimagining materials into bold, wearable works.
Expect the unexpected as everyday fabrics—from worn garments to found textiles—are transformed on the runway.
A reception will follow to celebrate the culmination of the 2025-2026 Guild Hall Teen Arts Council, including complimentary frozen yogurt from Buddhaberry on Wheels!
Co-commission with New York City Center
Guild Hall William P. Rayner Artist-in-Residence Robbie Fairchild shares an in-process presentation of his new dance-theater work, Lord Chamberlain’s Men, offering audiences a sneak peek ahead of its premiere at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival.
Marking Fairchild’s debut as a director and choreographer, Lord Chamberlain’s Men is a dance-theater work inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnets and the origin story of Romeo & Juliet, exploring themes of identity, forbidden love, and sexual longing that resonate throughout Shakespeare’s writing. With acclaimed director and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, OBE, serving as Creative Consultant, Fairchild brings together movement, text, and electro-acoustic music to create a theatrical landscape where storytelling and choreography intersect.
The in-process presentation will be followed by a conversation with the artists about the development of the work and Fairchild’s evolution from celebrated performer to director and choreographer.
