The Watermill Center, an interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities was founded by theatre and visual artist, Robert Wilson, as a place for young and emerging artists to work, learn, create, and grow with one another. Watermill integrates performing arts practices with resources from the humanities, research from the sciences, and inspiration from the visual arts.

The Watermill Center John Chamberlain Residency Grant Fund to benefit the Center’s year-round Artist Residency Program was launched two years ago by art advisor, filmmaker and Fairweather Magazine publisher Alexandra Fairweather in honor of her late step-father the world renowned artist John Chamberlain. The Artist Residency Program provides a unique environment for young and emerging artists to explore and develop their work.

Among the art on sale for this very special benefit will be works by Robert Indiana, Robert Motherwell, Milton Avery, John Chamberlain, Alex Katz, Tigran Tsitoghdzyan, Craig Poler, Guillaume Roemaet and Jeremy Wagner, grandson of Sherle Wagner. As well, there will be a selection of artworks especially created for The Watermill Center’s Annual Summer Gala and Art Auction, the most eagerly anticipated event on the Hamptons social calendar attracting attendees from around the globe.

Sherle Wagner’s Evan Geoffroy grandson of the founder notes, “Sherle Wagner is about art as a lifestyle. It is so exciting to integrate the carefully curated works of this very special group of fine artists with the Sherle Wagner showcases. We are very proud that this exhibition represents a unique cross-pollination of creativity and aesthetic application, and benefits the Residency Program, thereby directly contributing to the future creation of art.”
