Parrish Art Museum’s Midsummer Weekend
The reimagined annual event at the Parrish Art Museum featured three events over three days: a dance party, dinner and cocktails, and a family party.
The Parrish’s Midsummer Weekend — a benefit for the museum comprising three distinct events that bring together artists, art collectors, curators, philanthropists, and business leaders from the Hamptons, New York City, and beyond — raised over $1 million to benefit the museum in Water Mill.
The Midsummer Dance on Friday, August 13 featured a DJ Set by James Murphy. Dorothy Lichtenstein was the Honorary Chair of the Saturday’s Midsummer Dinner where artist Tomashi Jackson was honored. The Midsummer Family benefit on Sunday featured a performance by the National Circus Project and a collaborative mural workshop with artist Nathan Carter.
At the Midsummer Dance, Parrish Director Kelly Taxter and event chair Larry Milstein gave opening remarks and introduced James Murphy. The Midsummer Dinner featured remarks by Board President Mary E. Frank, Dorothy Lichtenstein, and Taxter. Ashley James, Ph.D., Guggenheim Museum Associate Curator, Contemporary Art, introduced Tomashi Jackson, who was unable to attend and addressed guests through a video statement.
Jackson’s exhibition “The Land Claim” and “Roy Lichtenstein: History in the Making, 1948–1960” are currently on view in the museum. Guests had the opportunity to view those and other special exhibitions as well as the outdoor exhibition “Field of Dreams.”
Guests at the Midsummer Family benefit, co-chaired by Darice Fadeyi and Samantha Brand, enjoyed a barbecue dinner and ice cream truck.
