The Hamptons have long been the summer playground for culturally savvy people of all walks of life. In recognition of the Hamptons international reputation to inspire, ArtHamptons, “Escape” will be celebrated in all its incarnations.  Produced for and by Hamptonites, now in its 7th successful year, ArtHamptons has come to be known as a celebration of the Hamptons art community as we pay homage to the region’s century-long tradition as a mecca for the creation and patronage of art.

Attendance grows yearly, which is now in excess of 14,000 devotees. It is known not only for honoring many of its region’s past masters, but also a showcase for the currently revered and emerging artists of today on the East End. Local art galleries exhibit next to prominent international dealers from 12 countries. Impeccably designed, it is all set to the highest level of international production standards.

From the pastoral landscapes of Jane Freilicher as “Artist of the Year” to the other worldly theatrical productions of Robert Wilson, Arts Patron of Year, the escape from the everyday that art allows will be showcased and trumpeted. ArtHamptons guests will be transported to Korea’s thriving art scene by way of the Korean Showcase featuring some of Asia’s leading galleries and artists. Fair goers will experience art presented by galleries from 10+ countries enabling you to slip in and escape into a cross-cultural artistic vision.

Over 3,000 important post-war and contemporary works are available for acquisition – displayed by 80+ revered galleries. These dealers proudly show the finest work by 500+ respected artists. Strategically, art work price points are set buying off the wall by the local high society. Hundreds of paintings find new homes in the neighboring mansions. Millions of dollars in art sales are generated. With sunning sales achieved in 2013, even higher expectations await 2014.

ArtHamptons, and its spectacular 50,000 sq ft. museum-like pavilion, moved to a memorable location in 2012, now taking place annually on Nova’s Ark Projects’ 95-acre sculpture park. The property features the sculpture park, a museum, gallery complex and polo club with unforgettable sunsets. Conceived as a single work of public art, the inviting large-scale contemporary sculptures displayed on rolling hills and throughout the fields, set the tone as fairgoers arrive at the location of the premiere arts event of the season.
