Women's Art Center of the Hamptons

Mark your calendars and join us on Friday, June 19, for the opening of our next exhibition, 'Splash.'

This vibrant summer show celebrates the many ways we make our own splash—not just in the water, but in life. Through the work of Angel Dean, Caro Dranow, Francine Fleischer, Jennifer Hannaford, and Marcie Honerkamp, 'Splash' explores self-expression, individuality, and the courage to show up as ourselves. It's less about saying "Look at me" and more about declaring, "Here I am."

Dive in with us on June 19 from 5–7pm. We can't wait to see you!

"The art begins with some inspiration, like a book, an old photograph, or a piece of music. Whatever inspires me to think, “What’s happening here?” My process has evolved, but I’m very comfortable right now; I love where I am. Composing conversations between characters invites viewers to put their own stories together. A lot of what I do is whimsical; there’s an element of humor. There’s the mystery of what’s happening or a hint of nostalgia." Nicole A. Vanasse

May the Fourth be with you! May hope, happiness, and love find you today and every day. A scene from the Halloween parade in Bridgehampton last year; a fun, family-oriented event hosted by our friends at the Hampton Library; there were miles of smiles up and down Main Street!

Yesterday Bridgehampton School elementary students waled through town as part of their Scribble Stone Project leaving stones with positive messages painted on them. We were excited to welcome them to WACH for snacks and a quick look at our 'Goldi' exhibition. Then they were off to spread more joy up and down Main Street. Thank you to the teachers of Bridgehampton School for such an inspiring project and an uplifting experience for us!
