| Description |
LongHouse Reserve will host its annual Summer Gala on its 16-acre East Hampton grounds on Saturday, July 18, 2009, honoring internationally-acclaimed silk weaver Carol Cassidy. More than 350 guests will gather to celebrate “ASIAN LAUGHTER,” a tribute to the joy that Southeast Asian art and culture bring to the world. Patrons will sample unique culinary delights from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, while enjoying music performed on traditional Asian instruments. They also will have the opportunity to view LongHouse’s exquisite grounds and silently bid on art from renowned artists such as Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein and Dale Chihuly. Summer Gala proceeds will support the LongHouse Reserve’s mission to exemplify living with art in all forms — a mission Jack Lenor Larsen, one of the world’s foremost advocates of traditional and contemporary crafts, began in 1991. Through its arboretum, sculpture gardens, and educational programs, LongHouse unites art and nature, aesthetics and spirit. It remains strongly committed to a belief that the arts are central to living wholly and creatively. Individual Benefit Tickets: Starting at $500 for Strolling and tasting ticket, all evening, all delights. Casual dining: Starting at $1,000 for One Lotus Seat, lounging and seated dining.
