ArtHamptons

The Small Fair That Buys Like A Big Fair

ArtHamptons returns again on July 8-11, 2010 as one of the highlights of the Hamptons summer season. Now entering its third successful year, ArtHamptons has already established itself as one of the top new fine art fairs in America. In 2009, over 5,000 art enthusiasts lined up and streamed through - visiting the much anticipated and publicized ArtHamptons. Fairgoers were “impressed” and “stunned” by the investment-level, high-quality modern and contemporary art. Many returned several times to better focus on a purchase or to fully absorb the extent and impact of the fair.

Vibrant Sales Seen As Auspicious Sign For Art World

Only at ArtHamptons do visitors and residents on the East End of Long Island get to witness such a respected lineup of international upper-tier galleries assembled in such an impeccable museum-like setting. In addition to paintings, works on paper, photography, prints, we are offering world-class glass art, ceramics, video, and l’objects d’art. With post-show sales remaining vibrant for many galleries, a stunning $10 million in art sales was generated as a result of ArtHamptons in 2009.

New Expanded Location in 2010

ArtHamptons moves 2 blocks west of the Bridgehampton Historical Society (last year's location) to a much expanded site which better accommodates our growth, traffic flow and special events program. Now held at Sayre Park’s 5 acres, this site is just 2 blocks north of Montauk Highway and lies between the Bridgehampton Commons Mall and the Hampton Classic horse field on Snake Hollow Road. Our new location enables us to build a spectacular 45,000 sq ft modular building (the largest ever in  the Hamptons), enjoy a  magnificent Sculpture Garden/Hospitality Park and benefit from convenient and free on-site parking .

A “mini-Art Basel” in the Hamptons

Celebrity spotting is becoming a sport at ArtHamptons as exhibitors had the pleasure of meeting several “famous shoppers” including TV personalities Kelsey Grammar, Joy Behar, Connie Chung, Donnie Deutsch, Rosanna Scotto, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Jonathan Tisch, musical greats Russell Simmons, Rev. Run, Jon Bon Jovi, and fashion icons Dennis Basso, Nicole Miller, David Yurman, and author Edward Albee. Two of the four network morning talk shows discussed the excitement surrounding ArtHamptons on their Monday morning broadcasts, following the fair. The scene is reminiscent and referred to by many attendees as “the mini-Art Basel” of the Hamptons. ArtHamptons is already on the 2010 social calendars of both the globetrotting art world elite as well as NYC die-hard collectors.
