East Hampton Art & Design Days returns for its second annual edition from July 9 to 12, bringing together an influential community of designers, tastemakers, collectors, and cultural leaders for a highly curated weekend of intimate experiences across the East End.
Celebrating the East End’s rich cultural heritage through a curated program centered around art, architecture, gardens, and design, the annual event brings together leading voices from the worlds of interiors, publishing, decorative arts, and fashion for conversations, tours, shopping experiences, and special events benefiting local cultural institutions.
Coinciding with the celebrated East Hampton Antiques & Design Show, the four-day program honors the Hamptons’ enduring legacy of creativity through a dynamic schedule of private tours, A-list panel discussions, book signings, pop-up shopping experiences, and exclusive gatherings hosted throughout East Hampton.
East Hampton Art & Design Days offers participants rare access to some of the region’s most inspiring homes, gardens, studios, and design destinations. A portion of the proceeds will benefit both the East Hampton Historical Society and Guild Hall.
“The weekend is designed to celebrate the spirit of East Hampton through meaningful conversations, beautiful spaces, and memorable experiences that bring together the design community in a uniquely personal way,” said Chesie Breen of East Hampton Art & Design Days.
