Hamptons Art Show to be Held This July

BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY — The art world is set to converge on the Hamptons this summer at the inaugural Hamptons Art Show, scheduled for July 10-14, 2024, at The Bridgehampton Museum, 2368 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, NY [Photo above: Corwith House]. This new art fair is the latest addition to the newly established “Fine Art Shows” portfolio, which also includes the renowned LA Art Show and Art Palm Beach.

Celebrating the vibrant arts community of the Hamptons, this year’s show will feature more than 50 leading international galleries and institutions. Intended to be a prime destination for art enthusiasts, with a focus on modern and contemporary art, the Hamptons Art Show will be set in an architecturally distinctive venue. This innovative structure introduces a groundbreaking approach to art fair design, mirroring the creative and forward-thinking spirit of the Hamptons Art Show. The unique design of the show’s setting is a departure from traditional exhibition spaces, offering an extraordinary experience for visitors.

Building on the success of the LA Art Show and Art Palm Beach, the Hamptons Art Show is the latest venture under the newly formed Fine Art Shows, founded by Scott Diament and Rob Samuels.

Kassandra Voyagis, producer and director of the LA Art Show, will lead the Hamptons Art Show. Her expertise and vision were instrumental in the revival of Art Palm Beach in 2023, re-establishing the show as a key player on the international art fair stage.

“We are thrilled to embark on this new venture, introducing a modern and contemporary art show to the Hamptons,” said Voyagis. “Our partnership with The Bridgehampton Museum, a cultural landmark in the area, and the incorporation of the Hamptons Art Show under Fine Art Shows, reflects our commitment to elevate the art fair experience. We aim to create a fair that not only showcases leading international galleries, but also fosters strong partnerships with local art institutions.”

The Hamptons Art Show is dedicated to engaging with East End collectors and the local community, introducing an event that resonates with the regional cultural scene. With the addition of the Hamptons Art Show to the Fine Art Shows lineup, the new entity marks a significant step in broadening the scope and influence of these prestigious bicoastal art fairs.
