2026 SEASON “ICONS & NEW VOICES”

——————-
A Season of Big Personalities, Dance, and Timely Conversations
—————————————————-
Guild Hall (158 Main Street, East Hampton) is thrilled to announce an inspiring lineup of programs for its 2026 Season “Icons & New Voices”. Since 1931, Guild Hall has served as a vibrant gathering place for East End creatives and audiences, supporting artists across disciplines and fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas through the visual arts, performance and education.
In May, Guild Hall will debut its annual Season Program Guide, a comprehensive resource designed to guide audiences through this year’s diverse array of performances and exhibitions. Including dance, music, humor, film, and talks, with the return of KidFEST and Stirring the Pot hosted by Florence Fabricant. The Guide will be available at Guild Hall, online and throughout the Hamptons.
The 2026 Museum schedule features a curated selection of gallery presentations that reflect Guild Hall’s enduring commitment to artistic practice, creative dialogue, and community. This season brings together emerging artists and established voices who, through their ideas and practices, engage with questions of memory, identity, materiality, and perception.
The Hamptons Institute, established in 2010, returns this summer featuring leaders in their fields discussing ideas that shape our community and the world. The 2026 installment is guest-curated by Ellen Chesler, author and Hamptons Institute co-founder and Patricia Duff, founder of the nonpartisan non-profit, The Common Good, dedicated to civic participation, civil dialogue, and common ground. Each evening will explore a single topic through the lens of the 250th anniversary signing of the Declaration of Independence, followed by a Q&A.
The longstanding tradition of the Clothesline Art Sale continues on July 25, providing accessible artwork to the community, while supporting the local artists who thrive here. The Summer Gala returns to Guild Hall’s grounds on August 7, and patrons will tee off at The Maidstone at the George D. Yates Golf Outing on September 29.
Members pre-sale begins April 9, while tickets to the public go on sale April 13 at GuildHall.org.
