Want to see the future of human expression, today? Student Art Festival 2021: PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE is now open Fridays–Sundays, 12–5pm.

The Guild Hall Student Art Festival (SAF) is a beloved tradition that encourages and showcases the artistic achievement and imagination of students, Kindergarten to Grade 12, on the South Fork of Long Island.

As a celebration of both Guild Hall’s 90th Anniversary, and the centennial of the Village of East Hampton, this year’s festival, Student Art Festival 2021: PAST-PRESENT-FUTURE, looks to both our shared past and an imagined future. Through the practice of art and design, ranging from imagery of natural growth and metamorphosis to Futurism and Science-Fiction, students across the East-End have collectively produced an exhibit that reflects our past, acknowledges and celebrates our present, and imagines a changed and hopeful future.

Art as Ecosystem is back with our first conversation of the year: Building Community through Artist-led Transformative Spaces on January 24, co-presented with The Church

with Eric Fischl (The Church), Stephen Petronio (The Petronio Residency Center) and Emily Simoness (SPACE on Ryder Farm) and moderated by Mary Jane Marcasiano

As multi-dimensional members of the art ecosystem, these three artists have elaborated on or transformed their original artistic careers to include community building. What motivated these art innovators to expand their work to include social issues and community? What were the most significant challenges in envisioning and building their actual physical spaces? How do they define community in the context of their projects? How do they consider equity issues within their programming?

New program! GATHER: Conversations led by Black and Indigenous Change-makers in Suffolk County

GATHER is a celebration of the East End’s diversity, a recognition of fault and colonization, and, most importantly, an opportunity to build and implement new understandings. Devised specifically for community leaders, service workers, teachers, and developers, this series platforms the voices and experiences of various BIPOC scholars, artists, and leaders, providing both lessons on our past histories, and strategies and examples of how to progress forward together.

Join in one or all four conversations led by Jeremy Dennis, artist and tribal member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Anthony Madonna, Guild Hall’s Senior Associate for Learning and Public Engagement, and a rotating panel of historians, artists, and/or leaders of the East End, including Tela Troge, Courtney M. Leonard, Donnamarie Barnes, David Rattray, and Georgette Grier-Key. All sessions occur virtually over Zoom with an intimate group of 15–20 people, and include hands-on activities and briefs for a deeper connection to the topics discussed.

This series is produced as part of Guild Hall’s Student Art Festival 2021: Past-Present-Future. Proceeds from this series aid the education initiatives at Guild Hall of East Hampton, the development of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio, and the institutions and artists involved.

SCHEDULE
Monday, January 25: On this Site with Jeremy Dennis & Tela Troge
Monday, February 1: The Art of Water with Courtney M. Leonard
Monday, February 8: Plain Sight Project with Donnamarie Barnes & David E. Rattray
Monday, February 15: Preservation and Community with Dr. Georgette Grier-Key

Just released! Alexis Rockman in conversation with Guild Hall Executive Director Andrea Grover in the exhibition, Alexis Rockman: Lost Cargo Watercolors at Sperone Westwater, on view through January 16, 2021. Now available on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/LTyQ_48ozXw

This talk relates to Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks, a forthcoming exhibition of new paintings and works on paper, at Guild Hall and Peabody Essex Museum, that looks at the world’s waterways as a network by which all of world history has traveled. The transport of language, culture, art, architecture, cuisine, religion, disease, warfare, and biology can all be traced along the routes of seafaring vessels dating back to and in some cases pre-dating the earliest civilizations. Through depictions of historic and obscure shipwrecks and their lost cargoes, Alexis Rockman addresses the impact — both factual and extrapolative — that the migration of goods, people, plants, and animals has had on the planet. This timely exhibition is inspired by both impending climate disaster and the current largest human migration in history, taking place in part by waterway.

Are you registered for our 83rd Annual Artist Members Exhibition?

Register now at https://give.guildhall.org/artist-members
Registration deadline is February 1.

The first Artist Members Exhibition took place in 1938, shortly after Guild Hall’s inception in 1931. The exhibition is the oldest non-juried show on Long Island and one of the few non-juried exhibitions still running. Deeply rooted in the history of the East End artist colony, early participants included Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Perle Fine, Bill King, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, John Little and many more, showing their support of Guild Hall and its role as their community Museum, Theater, and Education Center.

If this post gets more than 1,000 likes, our new Chief Creative Officer is going to buy us all pizza. 🍕

Oh wait – you didn’t hear? Amy Kirwin (yes, that Amy Kirwin who is presently Artistic Director at Southampton Arts Center) is going to be joining us at Guild Hall as our first ever Chief Creative Officer starting on February 1. This new key leadership role was created to support our 90th Anniversary in 2021, and to oversee brand marketing, communications, and multi-platform promotional content.

Please help us welcome Amy to the Guild Hall family! 👏👏👏🍾🎉 #boom #micdrop #freepizza #noanchovies #yestopineapple

“I had the good fortune to work with Amy Kirwin on public engagement at the Parrish Art Museum, and as founding members of Hamptons Arts Network. Amy’s creativity and stamina are par excellence, and her blended background in theater and visual arts lends itself perfectly to Guild Hall’s interdisciplinary framework. She will be a vital member of our 90th celebration, foregrounding joy and community participation—hallmarks of her work in the arts,” –Andrea Grover, Executive Director

“When I moved to the East End in 2010, I had worked for 15 years in NYC’s theater industry and jumped headfirst into the visual art world at the Parrish Art Museum. For the last five years as Artistic Director of Southampton Arts Center, I’ve had the great pleasure of helping to build their vibrant exhibition program, artist residency, and year-round public programs, and have been humbled by the ongoing enthusiasm and encouragement. Now, I am honored to continue to support the boundless artistic expression of this community as Guild Hall’s first Chief Creative Officer.” –Amy Kirwin

Each child is provided with a kit of materials for the entire series – available for pick-up at Guild Hall the weekend of January 15.

It’s not easy being a teen. The global pandemic has made it even more difficult for young adults finding their way. Listen to the words of Han to get a glimpse into her perspective.

“A Small Taste of Freedom" is an exhibition by the photographer @lindsaymorrisphoto which resulted from a collaboration between Morris and the @guildhalltac during the COVID-19 pandemic. Composed of portraits and audio interviews of GHTAC members living under New York State’s “stay at home” order, the exhibition captures the everyday happenings, coping mechanisms, and escape modes of area teens living through this historic moment.

The exhibition closes this weekend on December 27. Don’t miss it this Saturday & Sunday from 12–5pm - socially distanced of course.

New book coming out in conjunction with our 2021 exhibition, Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks. STAY TUNED!

@alexisrockman Coming this spring from DELMONICO BOOKS/GUILD HALL
Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks
Edited with text by Andrea Grover. Introduction by Daniel Finamore, Trevor Smith. Text by Sasha Archibald, Chanda Laine Carey, Brett Littman. Designed by @miko_mcg
The shipwreck narrative is used to explore globalization, colonization and climate change in the masterful works of contemporary American painter Alexis Rockman. In Shipwrecks, Alexis Rockman (born 1962) looks at the world’s waterways as a network by which all of history has traveled. The transport of language, culture, art, architecture, cuisine, religion, disease and warfare can all be traced along the routes of seafaring vessels dating back to and in some cases predating the earliest recorded civilizations. Through depictions of historic and obscure shipwrecks and their lost cargoes, Rockman addresses the impact—both factual and extrapolated—the migration of goods, people, plants and animals has on the planet. This timely publication, which includes essays from leading scholars, is propelled by impending climate disaster and the current largest human migration in history, taking place in part by waterway.
