The East Hampton Historical Society presents “Artists in Residence: Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios of the East End,” a summer exhibition at Clinton Academy, a 1784 building at 151 Main Street in East Hampton Village.
“Artists in Residence” explores how East Hampton became one of America’s preeminent arts colonies. The show features original artworks and artifacts from some of America’s most acclaimed artists, including Mabel & Victor D’Amico, Robert Dash, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Jack Lenor Larsen, John Little, Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran and Jackson Pollock.
The exhibition describes what drew the artists to the East End, their connection to the local landscape, and its influence on their practice. Plus, visitors can discover how to visit these historic homes and studios today.
The seven historic homes and studios in the exhibition are The Arts Center at Duck Creek, the D’Amico Institute of Art, Elaine de Kooning House, LongHouse Reserve, Madoo Conservancy, Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center and Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Home and Studio.
The exhibition text is in both English and Spanish.
The exhibition will kick off with an opening reception on Thursday, June 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.
