The Arts Center at Duck Creek invites the public to its 2025 Summer Benefit, an evening celebrating creativity, generosity, and community in the heart of Springs. Taking place on Friday, July 25, this special event supports Duck Creek’s free public programming and artist-first mission.
Guests will enjoy a live outdoor performance by Grammy-nominated musician Kaoru Watanabe, delicious local food and drink provided by East End sponsors, and the opportunity to view and bid on artwork by Duck Creek alumni artists. All auction proceeds benefit participating artists and support Duck Creek’s commitment to accessible, inclusive arts programming.
The event will begin at 5:30 PM with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and an auction. At 7:30 PM, there will be a concert with Kaoru Watanabe.
“This is the kind of evening that captures everything Duck Creek is about — art, music, nature, and the people who make it all possible,” said Executive Director Jess Frost. “When you support Duck Creek — by attending the Benefit, bidding in our Auction, or making a Donation — you help protect and grow a rare kind of cultural space. One rooted in connection, experimentation, and care.”
Tickets are limited and available now at duckcreekarts.org.
