Guild Hall in East Hampton presents its 2024 Visionaries Luncheon, which will feature Rebecca Hessel Cohen, LoveShackFancy Founder & Creative Director, in conversation with The Colony Hotel Owner & CEO Sarah Wetenhall at the Palm Beach hotel on Thursday, March 14.
Visionaries, which began in 2017, delves into the lives and minds of creative thinkers as they chase their dreams, challenge norms, and build businesses that embody their values and unique stories. Engaging dialogues, expertly moderated, reveal narratives of innovation, learning, and empowerment. Past Visionaries include Zoë Buckman (2018), Jayma Cardoso (2018), Christina Isaly Liceaga (2020), Sunny Khalsa (2019), Shantell Martin (2019), Vanessa Price (2021), Marcela Sapone (2018), Magda Sayeg (2017), Madison Utendahl (2017), Joey Wölffer (2017), and Marguerite Zabar Mariscal (2019).
“Visionaries is an essential program at Guild Hall because it champions creativity, originality, and resourcefulness and introduces new ways of thinking about business and the arts. Participants engage with next-generation leaders and learn how they are igniting change in their respective fields,” said Andrea Grover, Guild Hall Executive Director. “We are thrilled to add Rebecca to the list of esteemed speakers.”
Guild Hall’s South Florida sabbatical this season extends beyond Visionaries with the opening of “Guild Hall: An Adventure in the Arts,” a traveling exhibition of 72 permanent collection works by 59 eminent twentieth and twenty-first-century artists, in the Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery at The Society of Four Arts through April 28.
Guild Hall’s presence in the region goes back to the 1930s when Mary Woodhouse co-founded the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach in 1936, a few years after she founded Guild Hall in East Hampton in 1931.
The 2024 Visionaries Luncheon with Rebecca Hessel Cohen and Sarah Wetenhall will occur from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Tickets start at $500 and can be purchased at GuildHall.org/Visionaries.
