Tucked just off Main Street in East Hampton, past an inviting lawn and a charming historic shingled home, lies Mulford Farm, the magical site of Guild Hall's Summer Gala.

The museum, performing arts, and education center, perched just next door, saw a host of its generous Hamptons supporters stroll by in style for the annual soirée.

Guests entered cocktails through The Mulford Barn, a 1721 structure which upon this occasion housed an immersive video and sound installation by 2022 Guild Hall William P. Rayner artist-in-residence Holland Andrews. Just as the sun began to set, all made their way to an open-air tent with blooming with floral décor by Anthony Taccetta Events, inspired by the gala's 2022 honoree philanthropist Kathy Rayner’s East Hampton gardens.

The fabulous fête raised over $750,000 in support of Guild Hall’s year-round interdisciplinary programs, and as all parties should, ended with a full, enthusiastic dance floor.
