LongHouse Reserve is known for its stunning 16-acre sculpture garden and nature reserve. Two large-scale sculptures by Maren Hassinger and three by Wyatt Kahn, plus a special exhibition curated by Glenn Adamson and designed by Colin King will be added to LongHouse’s impressive art collection.
LongHouse Reserve will kick off the season with their Rites of Spring celebration on Saturday, April 1st. Enjoy the dazzling sight of nearly one million daffodils and rare bulb plants in bloom. Refreshments will be served, and families are invited to weave branches from the garden with Maren Hassinger to create her site-specific Monuments or join in a fabric puppet-making workshop with Kim Profaci.
LongHouse welcomed over 15,800 visitors last season, compared to 13,300 pre-pandemic. In 2022, memberships grew 35% with a focus on higher-giving levels. LongHouse has added value to those memberships by offering new programs and events such as Artist Talks and Workshops, LongHouse Illuminated, Canines in Costume, and Twilight Tours, and increased its presence in the wellness space, adding Forest Bathing, Tai Chi, Sound, and Silence Meditation.
For the first time, LongHouse Reserve is open five days a week from opening through December, providing greater accessibility and equity. LongHouse management has formalized its first Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Plan, applying it to all programs and practices. LongHouse Reserve has expanded its entry policy to include reduced admission for persons with disabilities and their caregivers. LongHouse joined Museums for All, offering admission for only $2 to those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits). The National Trust for Historic Preservation has named LongHouse Reserve to their Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) program. LongHouse is an active member of Hamptons Arts Network, the East Hampton Cultural Network, as well as the Horticultural Alliance of the Hamptons.
