The Clothesline Art Sale is one of the most beloved and affordable art traditions in the Hamptons since its inception in 1946. For almost 74 years, it has provided accessible artwork to the community, while supporting the local artists who thrive here. Throughout our history, great artists such as Alfonso Ossorio, James Brooks, John Little, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Elaine and Willem de Kooning have shared their talents to support Guild Hall in this unique annual fundraising effort.
In Person: 9am–4pm
Online: 9am–11:59pm
The 2020 Clothesline Art Sale is here! Nearly 300 artists entered the sale this year and art lovers everywhere flock to Guild Hall looking for their next masterpiece. Works range in price from $75 to $5,000 with all proceeds split 50/50 between the artist and Guild Hall.
While our summer season looks much different this year, we continue to reimagine our programs and how we can bring them to the public safely. We are so excited to continue the tradition of Clothesline by holding the sale outdoors on the grounds of Guild Hall following all social-distancing protocols and government safety guidelines.
We are also utilizing a touchless online-only purchasing system that will allow for safe and easy check-out, while also allowing you to shop from the comfort of your home.
