Guild Hall After Hours

Guild Hall After Hours is a free series that engages the interdisciplinary nature of Guild Hall through live performance, food, music, and interactive happenings. Activating indoor and outdoor spaces on the Guild Hall campus, Guild Hall After Hours is the perfect start to a night in the Hamptons or an evening at the John Drew Backyard Theater. 

This Saturday’s program is in response to the Guild Hall exhibition, Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks. Taking inspiration from the artist and the works on the view, the night will feature a live sound-installation from artist, Cliff Baldwin, and participatory installation with artist, Aurelio Torres. Food and drinks are available for purchase from Guild Hall’s new concessions, and can be enjoyed in our Minikes Garden.  

The evening is followed by a ticketed artist talk, Art and Cinema between artists Alexis Rockman and Carter Burwell, moderated by Guild Hall Executive Director, Andrea Grover, and a screening of Life of Pi in the John Drew Backyard Theater. 

Guild Hall After Hours are free and open for all to attend. Programs occur both within the building, galleries, and the Guild Hall gardens. Physical-distancing, limited occupancy, and mask coverings are enforced at all Guild Hall events.

GATHER: Conversations led by Black and Indigenous Change-Makers, TUKTU PADDLE TOUR OF SHINNECOCK

GATHER: Conversations led by Black and Indigenous Change-Makers is a celebration of the East End’s diversity, a recognition of fault and colonization, and, most importantly, an opportunity to build and implement new understandings. Devised specifically for community leaders, service workers, teachers, and developers, this series platforms the voices and experiences of various BIPOC scholars, artists, and leaders, providing both lessons on our past histories, and strategies and examples of how to progress forward together. The series spans from Friday, July 16 – Monday, July 19.

Each tour is led by Tuktu PT founder, Gerrod Smith, and includes a short hike along Shinnecock’s private coastlands and, if the tides flow right, a fresh taste of local shellfish handpicked from Shinnecock Bay. 

Each tour is limited to 12 people. The rental of a single-person kayak, two-person kayak, or three-person canoe is included with registration. 

This iteration of GATHER is programmed in tandem with the Guild Hall exhibition, Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks. Proceeds from this series aid the education initiatives at Guild Hall of East Hampton, the development of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, and the institutions and artists involved.
