Artists Steven & William Ladd Brought National Scrollathon To LongHouse Reserve 

Artists Steven and William Ladd brought their National Scrollathon to LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton on October 25.

Members of the East Hampton community were invited to participate in a series of artmaking workshops. Participants’ individual creative contributions will be assembled as one permanent artwork. LongHouse’s finished piece will represent the East End when the Scrollathon is displayed in its entirety, with sections from all 50 states and U.S. territories, at The Kennedy Center in 2026.

The National Scrollathon aims to reveal the American story in all its rich complexity as we celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. Using colorful strips of webbing, Scrollathon guests explored the meditative nature of handworking, simultaneously promoting verbal communication with the creative team.
