ART SOCIAL: CREWELWORK – SOLD OUT

High School Awards Ceremony; Student Art Festival 2021: PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE

The High School Awards Ceremony is a moment to celebrate and recognize high achievement and creativity in select high school artists whose work is exhibited in the Student Art Festival 2021: PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE 

The 2021 Awards are decided and given by celebrated artist and Guild Hall Academy of the Arts member, Clifford Ross. Ross has awarded 30 students from East Hampton High School and the Ross School within traditional categories from Best Drawing to Best Collaboration to Best Mixed Media, and honors unique to this year’s Festival, including Best Architectural Project, and the Social Responsibility Award. 

This year the Awards Ceremony takes the form of a prerecorded video. In late January, Ross met with Guild Hall’s Curatorial Assistant/Lewis B. Cullman Associate for Museum Education, Casey Dalene, to share his thoughts on the Festival as a whole, and to offer individual congratulations to each awarded artist. This prerecorded awards ceremony is available for free streaming on our website and YouTube page through end of the Student Art Festival.

Bel Canto Boot Camp: Bel Canto 101

Join Bel Canto Boot Camp for a special introductory session especially for Guild Hall. Bel Canto Boot Camp empowers singers with historically based and skill focused instruction and inspires singers and opera lovers alike to refine listening skills through guided listening, learn about the human voice and our operatic art through reading, and to share in a community centered on the power and beauty of the human voice. Rachelle Jonck and Derrick Goff, the two NYC vocal coaches who have founded Bel Canto Boot Camp, have crafted an introduction especially for Guild Hall to explain some of the specialized “geeky” aspects and terminology used in BCBC’s approach, and will be joined by Steven Tharp for some guided listening representing the best of our first few Audiophile Society meetings. We learn together what to listen for in historical recordings where the technology needs our ears and minds to “fill in” what might not be there.

All sessions are led remotely via Zoom by East Hampton Library’s, Ms. Anna. Each child is provided with a take-home kit of art supplies, available for pick-up at Guild Hall the weekend prior to each session.

GATHER: Conversations led by Black and Indigenous Change-makers in Suffolk County 

GATHER is a celebration of the East Ends 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.  

Join in one or all four conversations led by Jeremy Dennis, artist and tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Anthony Madonna, Guild Halls Senior Associate for Learning and Public Engagement, and a rotating panel of historians, artists, and/or leaders of the East End, including Tela Troge, Courtney M. Leonard, Donnamarie Barnes, David Rattray, and Georgette Grier-Key. All sessions occur virtually over Zoom with an intimate group of 15–20 people, and include hands-on activities and briefs for a deeper connection to the topics discussed. 

This series is produced as part of Guild Halls Student Art Festival 2021: Past-Present-Future. Proceeds from this series aid the education initiatives at Guild Hall of East Hampton, the development of Mas House & BIPOC Art Studio, and the institutions and artists involved.

Encouraging every child to reflect on their past, question their present, and imagine their own future.
