LongHouse celebrates its 32nd year in our glorious garden under the stars at our annual Summer Benefit & Auction, MidSummer Dream on July 22, 2023. With great thanks for your past support, please join Honorary Chairs Dianne Benson, Cindy Sherman, Robert Wilson, Honorary Art Chairs Pamela Willoughby and George Negroponte and our Board of Trustees honoring the beautiful lifelong artistic achievement of Mary Heilmann and the literary genius of A. M. Homes.
The LongHouse Summer Benefit & Auction is a not-to-be-missed event, this year taking its inspiration from a world of Shakespearean wonder. Guests will enter through our dunes into a summery reception with pop-up performances, onto dinner under the stars, followed by dancing and dessert.
You and your guests will be able to wander the entire grounds discovering extraordinary outdoor art at every turn, including this season’s new works by Maren Hassinger, Wyatt Kahn, Fitzhugh Karol, and Oscar Molina. We are delighted that East Hampton’s Vin74 and Sagaponack's Sagg Distillery will keep libations flowing through the night.
MidSummer Dream will be a magical gathering with exquisite food and drink, entertainment, and, of course, our renowned auction to benefit education at LongHouse.
Garden Party begins at 6:00pm
Dinner at 8:00pm
Dance After-Party from 9:30pm-11:00pm
