BHM: ‘Beautiful Bridgehampton’ Plein Air Art, Summer 2024 / Opens Sept 7th

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throughout the summer of 2024 the Bridgehampton Museum has hosted several plein air workshops around the Bridgehampton/Sagaponack area led by teacher and artist Howard Rose. The workshops were made up of both locals and a few people from as far away as Nassau County who made the long journey out on weekends in the summer to paint our immaculate vistas.

The workshops took place at both the Nathaniel Rogers House and the William Corwith House, two properties managed by the museum. But classes also visited the Madoo Conservancy, Bridge Gardens, the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Center and the South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center.

“Each class there would be a few guests who had been to whatever location we were at, but at least 1/3 of each class had never heard of where we were meeting,” says Connor Flanagan, Executive Director of the Bridgehampton Museum. “This has been a fantastic way to both continuing to foster the artistic culture of the Hamptons and to raise the awareness of all the amazing organizations right here in Bridgehampton.”

The exhibit will feature pieces from all of the participants that were started at some point this summer. We invite you to join us at the historic Nathaniel Rogers House to mingle with the artists and get to know the members of our local artist community. The show will be up for the month of September.
