The 18th Annual Artists Against Abuse Gala Fights Domestic Violence

Chelsea KatzbyChelsea Katz

Home Community

As the slightly inebriated crowd at The Ross Lower Campus began to settle down, Executive Director Jeffrey Friedman of The Retreat approached the podium and called for those sitting with purple napkins. About a quarter of the people in the room got to their feet.

This represented the 1-in-4 women who will be victims of domestic violence in their lifetime.

Artists, politicians and economists banded together on Saturday, June 22, at The Retreat’s 18th annual Artists Against Abuse gala at The Ross Lower Campus in Bridgehampton. Decked out in tie-dye and toting signs for peace, the night featured a silent and eventually live auction with all proceeds going to The Retreat’s services for domestic violence victims. Such services include counseling, shelters, hotlines and more.

Oksana Grigorieva was the guest speaker as a victim of domestic violence and one who has worked with domestic violence agencies like The Retreat all over the country.

“The most interesting thing about domestic violence is the humanity,” Grigorieva said. “The psychological abuse of the crime happens before the violence… It’s textbook almost.”

Meanwhile, the gala screamed ‘60s.

“Hippies” and “protestors” stood outside the driveway entrance with signs for peace. Waiters and waitresses with tie-dye shirts and bandanas around their head walked around the cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres.

“We’ve got an excited crowd for a good night of rock ‘n roll,” Friedman said. “We’ve got people in their best ‘60s outfits.

After the cocktail hours, patrons shuffled into the main room where The Fabulous 60s Rock Show was performing.

However, ask anybody there and the name of the game was raising money to prevent domestic violence.
“It’s obvious when someone has a black and blue mark,” said Ada Samuelsson, a former economist for The United Nations. “But it’s not so obvious with a bleeding heart.”

“It’s such an important issue,” said Legislator Jay Schneiderman. “With the recession, there was a surge in domestic violence.”

Friedman agreed, noting that there was a 96 percent increase in calls to their domestic violence hotline over the past year.

The main event started with speeches from Friedman, Ann Liguouri and a few words from a domestic violence survivor. Afterwards, Sarah Friedlander of Christie’s Fine Art Auction House began the auction. One auction item, a sculpture by William King, valued at $35,000. The top bid for this item was $16,000.

“The agency is very consolidated,” Grigorieva said. “The amount of work they do is quite tremendous.”

  • From Garden to Plate: Hunter Mangano’s Journey at Shou Sugi Ban House

At Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, you are immersed in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, or the art of impermanence. Known for its spa, nutrition, and lodging facilities, Shou Sugi Ban House was designed by New York and Hamptons architect Debbie Kropf, who artfully chose to infuse elements of the local Hamptons landscape with Japanese principals similar to that of the “ryokan” or a traditional Japanese inn. Aside from its serene and upscale spa services, Shou Sugi Ban House is set apart by its on-property greenhouse, gardens, berry patch, and orchard, all of which are used to make meals for guests of SSBH. @shousugibanhouse

  • The Best Coffee Shops in the Hamptons For a Perfect Brew

For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like heading into a local coffee joint, taking solace in the fact that it’s not an international chain. Quaint vibes alongside java that is brewed fresh and local is an experience that simply can’t be replicated at places like Starbucks, Panera, and Dunkin’. Not to say quality coffee can’t be found at these establishments, of course, there is a reason they are the most famous coffee chains in the world after all. But, in the Hamptons, it has always been about small-town charm and chain-everything being few and far between, from stores to restaurants to cafes and beyond.

So, whether you’re a Hamptons local, a vacationer on the East End, or are simply looking for the best local coffee spots in the area, we have a list of 10 must-try coffee shops for you.

  • A Glimpse Inside…East Hampton’s Most Talked About New Construction, Now Complete

Just completed in August 2023, 6 Marley Lane has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked about new constructions. Exclusively represented by The Vince Horcasitas Team at Saunders & Associates, to say they are excited about this rare new construction is an understatement.

Since its inception and throughout construction, the Hamptons real estate community has eagerly anticipated its completion. What has emerged at 6 Marley Lane is—almost impossibly—even more impressive in real life than in renderings.  @hamptonsrealestate @vinceinthehamptons

  • The History Behind The Two Most Prestigious Golf Courses in The Hamptons

With more than 140 golf courses across Long Island’s 118 Miles, the Hamptons is home to 15 of those courses two of which rank numbers 4 and 7 in the top 100 Golf Courses in the world. They say Long Island’s water makes for the best bagels, so it must be something in this soil that makes these famous greens.

  • Iconic Marders, More Than a Nursery

“Marders” is the high essence of a Hamptons Nursery and so much more. It is the epitome of success, situated on 40 acres of prime Bridgehampton real estate. Charlie Marder of 120 Snake Hollow Road, along with his wife Kathleen have built a monument that has been providing their expertise and services to the residents of the Hamptons for about fifty years.

The stories are now folklore. Back in the day, usually wearing his trademark suspenders, Charlie was ever ready to move the largest trees of the Hamptons whether they were to be planted, relocated, or removed. He once boasted to this reporter that he had the record for the widest load moved by the Shelter Island South Ferry. Charlie said he deposited a tree onto the ferry on one side and fetched it off the ferry on the other side, recalling, “The tree was wider than the ferry, sticking out on both sides.” @marderslandscaping
