A dreamy day in the Hamptons: Annual Parrish Museum Lunch

11 Aug 2023

In July, The Cultivist partnered with a luxury jewellery brand Marli for our Annual Hamptons Lunch which had attendees buzzing from how beautiful it was.

This year was a special one for the Parrish Museum as the historic Water Mill institution celebrated its 125th anniversary. To commemorate this achievement of longevity, the museum hosts a three-part landmark exhibition honouring the East End's rich artistic legacy.

The first part of the Artists Choose Parrish exhibition presented forty headlining artists, such as Mary Heilmann, Ugo Rondinone, Cindy Sherman, Rachel Feinstein, Robert Longo, Sheree Hovespian, Hank Willis Thomas, and many more. Our insightful private tour of Artists Choose Parrish was led by the museum's Chief Curator, Corinne Erni, an experience exclusive to our members. 

The tour was followed by a lovely seated lunch on the outdoor terrace. A charming tablescape set just on the edge of a flourishing field captivated members and was the subject of quite a few posts on social media. Our Parrish Lunch remains a staple in our programme thanks to its ability to capture the energy of summer in the Hamptons, while still offering a top-quality art experience.
