Guild Hall is inviting Hamptonites from all over to attend what they are sure is going to be the party of the season as Guild Hall hosts its Summer Gala: Aspects of Minimalism on Friday, August 12th. The event is sure to be a night full of dancing, dinner, and good times!

Neda Young, the night’s honoree, is a well-known philanthropist and art collector. Artist April Gornik will once again serve as the Gala’s host and DJ Hannah Bronfman is also returning to provide the evening’s music.

“This year’s Summer Gala will be a stunning tribute the Aspects of Minimalism exhibition reflected in the elegant décor of the evening and the well-curated dining experience but what makes the party really fun is the great mix of people come,” said Guild Hall Marketing Director, BJ Howard.

During the Gala, there will be a white wine reception and a special preview of the Aspects of Minimalism exhibition at Guild Hall at 5 p.m. Following the reception, attendees are invited to enjoy cocktails and a “sumptuous” dinner provided by Sonnier & Castle, a “luxury purveyor of innovative cuisine” at Mulford Farm, starting at 7 p.m.

Event designer David Beahm will transform Mulford Farm in East Hampton to reflect the styles of the artists featured in the Museum’s exhibition, with an “eclectic mix of floral, objects d’art, dinnerware, creative installations, and floor plans”.
