The Parrish Art Museum is thrilled to announce MIDSUMMER GALA: ECHOES OF THE COSMOS, a one-night-only dinner and dance celebrating artistic excellence and philanthropic impact. Taking place on Saturday, July 19, 2025, the Midsummer Gala is one of the most anticipated events of the Hamptons summer season. All funds raised support the Parrish’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programs that energize the creative legacy of the East End and beyond.
This year’s benefit will honor philanthropists Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder and visionary artists Sanford Biggers, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and Nina Yankowitz, whose work resonates with the Parrish’s mission to inspire and connect through art.
Throughout the evening, guests are invited to explore the Museum’s current exhibitions and discover sculptures installed across the scenic Meadows, offering a full sensory experience of art, nature, and celebration. This annual event promises immersive encounters with the arts and brings together a vibrant community of friends of the Parrish—artists, collectors, curators, philanthropists, neighbors, and business leaders from the Hamptons, New York City, and beyond.
