Parrish Art Museum’s Midsummer Party Raises $1.25 Million

Hosted by the museum’s director, Terrie Sultan, the annual fundraising gala took place at the Herzog & de Meuron-designed building in Water Mill, New York. This year, the gala raised an unprecedented $1.25 million.

Attendees had cocktails in the museum where the exhibitions on view included “Jennifer Bartlett: History of the Universe – Works 1970-2011,” “Platform: Maya Lin,” and the second installation of the permanent collection. The table settings for the dinner that followed reflected the grid work of Bartlett, lined with handmade narrow gridded wire boxes.

Later on, dancers from MoveOpolis! performed choreography by Richard Move, and then guests were invited to dance themselves at the afterparty in the Museum’s Lichtenstein Theater.
