PASSAGE: A FORGOTTEN PARADISE PROJECT

Join us for a community gathering honoring the Pyrrhus Concer Homestead, its memory, its ancestors, and its resilience.  Concer is one of the most important figures in Southampton’s history; come build a monument, hoist a sail, sing, break bread, and fellowship with us. We’ll call in our indigenous, black and brown ancestors who transcend time and space, who charge us to imagine a liberated, more just, more caring world, a world in which life is precious.

PASSAGE is the third chapter in an ongoing, creative investigation called FORGOTTEN PARADISE which imagines the dreams of the forcibly displaced, and enslaved peoples across the European/American, trans-Atlantic slave trade.  It connects spirits of ancestors with descendants across oceans and between times.

**Please bring a lawn chair and wear all white. The program will be filmed for future iterations of the project. Please note that guests of Guild Hall may be photographed, videotaped, or otherwise recorded. 

Arrive early for the self-guided tour: PYRRHUS CONCER: AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE created by Brenda Simmons / Southampton African American Museum (SAAM)

ERIC FISCHL: A DAY AT THE BEACH

BOOTS LAMB EDUCATION CENTER

Eric Fischl, mainly known for his large-scale, naturalistic images of middle-class American life, has created this interactive work where the public is invited into the studio during gallery hours to create their own “paintings” with provided precut magnetic figures—or make new figures—to develop compositions that play with changing perspective, narrative, and the history of painting.


Galleries are open Wednesday to Sunday, 12-5 PM. Enter the Boots Lamb Education Center from Pondview Lane. 

TEEN FASHION SHOW

Join us for the Second Annual Guild Hall Teen Arts Council Fashion Show!

Led by guest artist, Amanda Cappabianca, the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council (GHTAC) has designed and curated a line of repurposed fashion appropriate for any summer night in the Hamptons – from galas to a beach day. The evening will begin with a runway show hosted by members of the Teen Arts Council where each GHTAC member will walk the runway in their very own design and will conclude with a reception in Guild Hall’s Furman Garden. 

Note: Advance registration is encouraged but not required.

CREATIVE LAB: RAÚL MARTINEZ

$15 ($10 Members)

Creative Lab is a series of interdisciplinary workshops designed and led by Guild Hall’s Visiting, Exhibiting, and Resident artists. Each Creative Lab invites participants to learn about an artist’s practice through an open lecture and a participatory workshop.

This Lab will be led by artist & lawyer Raúl Martinez. Martinez’s work examines the intersections between art and language and, more specifically, the possibilities of using legal language (i.e., employment contracts, traffic rules and regulations, military training codes, etc.) as material for art, dance, and performance.

The Lab will focus on Martinez’s work as part of the collective DETEXT and his current work in the Guild Hall exhibition, Spin A Yarn.

STITCH N’ BITCH

Join Guild Hall for a weekly Stitch ‘N  Bitch!
Thursdays, June 6, 13, 20, & 27 from 6-7:30 PM
Guild Hall’s Boots Lamb Education Center

FREE
Advance reservations are encouraged but not required.

The name Stitch ‘N  Bitch has been used by many social knitting communities as far back as World War II. For many, a Stich ‘N Bitch was a forum for political action, social inclusion, and silent but collective gatherings of like-minded people. As time went on, it grew in popularity, with a major resurgence in the early 2000’s due to Debbie Stoller & BUST Magazine, and has been bringing crafters together for decades.

This weekly program is open to all who knit, crochet, embroider, sew and more. Sessions are collectively led by those in attendance.
All participants are encouraged to bring their own materials.

Stitch ‘N Bitch is programmed in-tandem with the Guild Hall exhibition, Spin A Yarn.
