The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill presents its Midsummer Weekend: Shadow & Light, a spectacular weekend of celebration. All funds raised during the Midsummer Weekend support the Parrish Art Museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programs. This annual weekend celebration features two events: the Midsummer Dance on Friday, July 12, and the Midsummer Gala Dinner on Saturday, July 13.
Music at Friday’s Midsummer Dance will be by DJs Angel + Dren, with a special performance by Anna of the North. The Midsummer Gala Dinner on Saturday will include cocktails, a seated dinner, a paddle raise, and dancing with DJ M.O.S. The event will honor philanthropists Susan Pear Meisel and Louis K. Meisel, alongside the acclaimed artists in attendance, KAWS, Shirin Neshat, and Sean Scully.
The two prestigious weekend events will bring together friends of the Parrish, including artists, art collectors, curators, philanthropists, neighbors, and business leaders from the Hamptons, New York City, and beyond. This year’s Midsummer Weekend will uniquely focus on raising funds for “Access Parrish,” a community partner program at the Museum that provides artmaking, movement workshops, and gallery tours for adults and children with special needs.
