Why Art & Soul Hamptons Works

August 20, 2026 In Hamptons Happenings 9 Mins Read

Why Art & Soul Hamptons draws visitors to Southampton for a full weekend of Black art, culture, community and the Hamptons experience.

The Hamptons summer calendar is packed with galas, openings, dinners, concerts and parties, but Art & Soul Hamptons continues to find a way to stand out. 2025 was incredible, and founder Yaya Reyes continues to give us something different every year. For 2026, she did it again. While most Hamptons events last a few hours, Art & Soul invites you to experience something more. You arrive, but you do not simply mingle, take a few pictures and go home. Art & Soul Hamptons asks you to stay.

That may be one of the reasons Art & Soul Hamptons continues to resonate with people who are willing to travel from across the country for an entire weekend in Southampton. Founder Yaya Reyes created a curated Hamptons experience where art, food, history, music, film, wellness and community unfold over three days. She also intentionally caps the guest list, giving attendees enough space and time to fully experience what has been planned.

We have become accustomed to events being measured by how many people can fit into a room. Art & Soul Hamptons takes a different approach. Limiting attendance changes the experience. You begin recognizing people you met the night before. A quick introduction on Friday may turn into a longer conversation on Saturday. By Sunday, you could find yourself having brunch with someone who was a complete stranger when the weekend started.

The word “curated” is important when describing Art & Soul Hamptons. The festival is not simply curating art. It is curating an experience. This year’s festival moved guests throughout Southampton, including the Southampton Arts Center, Southampton African American Museum, Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation, 75 Main and Southampton Inn. Each stop offered something different while remaining connected to the larger weekend.

Come for the Weekend, Not Just the Party

Friday night could easily stand on its own as a great summer event, but that would miss the point. Come for the weekend, not just the party. The experience is designed to unfold over three days, giving guests a reason to stay in Southampton, explore the community and experience more of what the Hamptons has to offer.

Opening night at the newly reimagined Southampton Arts Center set the tone for Art & Soul Hamptons. The outdoor grounds created a relaxed atmosphere where guests could move around, experience ARTBOii’s exhibition, enjoy food and drinks, listen to music and actually have conversations.

The culinary tasting was definitely a highlight, featuring Chef Cheryl Grigg, Chef Sakari Smithwick, Chef Leighton Murdock, Chef Doug Gee and the Long Island Shucking Truck. I had a few favorites. The pulled pork and grits were delicious, the tacos from Armona Culinary were another standout, and Chef Doug Gee’s carrot cake was memorable.

The experience continued with a Wine Stylings tasting presented by certified sommelier, wine educator and author Charles Springfield, assisted by Lea Williams of Let’s Talk Wine. New England Sweetwater sponsored the sipping experience. Wellness and beverage activations included a juice bar from The Nourish Spot, a Bloody Mary Mix Bar from K Bloody Mary Mix, non-dairy Thai iced tea from PAIJA Tea Co. and a seamoss bar from Love You More Seamoss.

Music also helped set the mood. Flutist Dwayne Kerr performed live, while Kurt Leggard photographed the red carpet experience. Guests later gathered for a screening of Crossroads, followed by a film talkback. The evening shifted back to music with Hamptons local favorite Rum Punch Mafia.

Even the swag bags became part of the Art & Soul Hamptons experience. There was a lot happening throughout the night, but it never felt like too much. Guests could explore at their own pace, stop for a conversation and decide what they wanted to experience next. That balance is exactly what made opening night work.

Nothing Was Stopping This Party

Saturday gave Art & Soul Hamptons a completely different challenge. It rained all day, and plans had to change. Anyone who attends or produces summer events in the Hamptons knows that weather can quickly change everything. The rain changed the logistics, but nothing was stopping this party. The pivot actually led to one of my favorite experiences of the weekend.

Saturday evening brought Art & Soul Hamptons inside the Southampton African American Museum, where we experienced artist Damien Davis’ exhibition, Hedges and Edges. Davis took us into the history and cultural importance of the Black barbershop, not simply as a place to get a haircut, but as a place where people gathered, exchanged information, talked politics, built relationships and found community. The location made the experience even more powerful because the Southampton African American Museum occupies a building that was once a Black barbershop.

Black Culture Is Already Part of Hamptons History

Before viewing Davis’ work, guests heard Brenda Simmons, co-founder of the Southampton African American Museum, share stories about Black families and businesses that helped shape the East End. She spoke about families who came from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia for work and opportunity. They worked on farms and in local industries, opened businesses, raised families and created communities.

Brenda also shared the story of her father, Noah T. Simmons, and the Cottage Inn in East Hampton. Her family history opened another window into the Black social and entertainment scene that existed here decades ago. Hearing those stories before seeing Davis’ work gave the exhibition even more meaning and reinforced something that Art & Soul Hamptons illustrates so well. Black culture is not being brought to the Hamptons as though it has never existed here. Black culture is already part of Hamptons history.

They Are Purchasing an Experience

People traveled from New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta, Florida, Seattle and other parts of the country for Art & Soul Hamptons this year. They are not simply purchasing admission to an event. They are purchasing an experience. For someone visiting the Hamptons for the first time, Art & Soul offers an entry point that looks different from the version of the Hamptons often seen on television or social media.

The Hamptons lifestyle, with beautiful spaces, great food, cocktails, music and summer parties.
The Shinnecock Indian Reservation, through a private visit to Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio.
The Southampton African American Museum, connecting visitors to Black history on the East End.
Black artists and entrepreneurs, whose work and businesses are intentionally centered throughout the weekend.
Local history, including stories that many visitors, and even some residents, may not know.
Real conversations and connections, made possible by a smaller, intentionally capped guest list.
Community, which ultimately ties the entire Art & Soul Hamptons weekend together.

The vendors, sponsors and gift bags were also part of the Art & Soul Hamptons experience. Throughout the weekend, guests were introduced to businesses across food, wine, spirits, beauty, wellness and lifestyle, including New England Sweetwater, The Nourish Spot, PAIJA Tea Co., Love You More Seamoss and K Bloody Mary Mix. The VIP gift bags extended that experience beyond the weekend with products from brands including Miss Jessie’s, Stanley 1913 x NEST, Tea Forté, Cambridge Chemists, Purpose Jewelry, Brownkind, Bespoke Flowers and many others.

What I appreciated was that these partnerships did not feel separate from the event. They were incorporated into the Art & Soul Hamptons experience, giving attendees an opportunity to discover new products and businesses while giving participating brands direct access to an engaged audience. That is another part of the curation that works. You leave with more than a gift bag. You leave having discovered businesses, artists, food and experiences that you may continue supporting long after the weekend is over.

That combination gives Art & Soul Hamptons visitors a fuller picture of Southampton. Guests are also staying in hotels, eating in restaurants, visiting local businesses and spending several days discovering the East End. The cultural experience becomes an economic one as well, something Southampton African American Museum co-founder Brenda Simmons has also highlighted when discussing the festival’s impact on the village.

A Different Kind of Luxury

Art & Soul Hamptons also made me think about what luxury really means. In the Hamptons, luxury is often associated with exclusivity. Maybe luxury is also having enough space to enjoy where you are, meeting an artist and having time to hear the story behind the work, sitting down for brunch with people you met the night before, or spending three days discovering a community instead of racing from one event to another.

The capped guest list is an important part of the experience. There is a difference between being exclusive simply for the sake of exclusivity and intentionally limiting attendance so people can participate. Yaya has created an environment where guests are not simply standing in a crowd watching an experience happen around them. They become part of it.

By Sunday, Something Has Changed

A three-day Art & Soul Hamptons experience creates something a single event cannot. It creates time. Friday is about meeting people. Saturday gives you an opportunity to reconnect. By Sunday, relationships have started to form. The weekend concluded with the Bubble & Bloom Brunch benefiting the Southampton African American Museum, bringing the experience back to culture, history and community.

Five years into Art & Soul Hamptons, Yaya Reyes seems to understand what many people are looking for when they travel. They still want beautiful spaces, great food, music and fun, but they also want experiences that feel worth their time. They want to discover something, meet people, learn something and leave with stories they can take home.

That is why Art & Soul Hamptons works. It gives people a reason to come to the Hamptons for more than a party. It invites them to stay for the weekend, experience Southampton, discover Black history, support artists and businesses, make connections and enjoy themselves along the way.

Art & Soul Hamptons is not simply selling an event. It is curating a Hamptons experience that people want to come back to.

Real Talk. Real People. Real Experiences.

Stacey Abrams Visits the Hamptons

August 3, 2026 In Hamptons Happenings 3 Mins Read

Guild Hall was packed on July 28 as Stacey Abrams visited the Hamptons for the Thinking Forward Lecture Series, hosted by the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center. The event sold out, and the energy in the room was evident from the moment she walked on stage.

Stacey Abrams on the Importance of Voting

Abrams received a warm welcome. The audience was engaged from start to finish. People listened closely, applauded often and stayed for a lively Q&A that lasted well beyond the formal discussion.

Abrams joined journalist and author Ken Miller for a conversation that covered some of the biggest issues facing the country today. They discussed democracy, voting rights, public education, artificial intelligence, DEI and the future of civic engagement.

Throughout the evening, Abrams encouraged the audience to look beyond political headlines and think about the systems that shape government and everyday life. She argued that many of today’s political battles did not begin with one administration or one individual, but are the result of decades of organized efforts to reshape public institutions and the role of government.

Voting was one of the evening’s biggest themes. Abrams said voting is about much more than casting a ballot. It affects healthcare, housing, education, jobs and civil rights.

“If voting didn’t matter,” she said, “people wouldn’t work so hard to stop you from doing it.”

Abrams also emphasized the importance of local and state government, encouraging people to remain engaged long after Election Day by supporting organizations, participating in their communities and holding elected officials accountable. https://hamptonsmouthpiece.com/has-the-awakening-begun/

The conversation also touched on public education. Abrams discussed the rollback of DEI initiatives, the importance of preserving history and the growing role of artificial intelligence. She said technology should help strengthen democracy, not divide it.

Despite the serious topics, Abrams’ wit and storytelling kept the audience engaged throughout the evening. Laughter mixed with thoughtful moments as attendees responded with frequent applause, creating an atmosphere that was both reflective and hopeful.

My Take

One thing I appreciate about events like this is that they bring people together to listen instead of shout. Some audience members agreed with Stacey Abrams, others likely did not. That is healthy. Good conversations do not require complete agreement. They require people willing to listen, ask questions and think. On July 28, Guild Hall became that place. In today’s political climate, that may be just as important as anything said from the stage.

Real Talk. Real People.

Apollo in the Hamptons 2026 Returns: Celebrating Harlem’s Legacy and Sag Harbor’s Historic Connection

July 28, 2026 In Hamptons Happenings 5 Mins Read

Where Harlem Meets the Hamptons: SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2026 –APOLLO IN THE HAMPTONS 2026!

What do Harlem and Sag Harbor have in common? At first glance, not much. One is known for its iconic brownstones, jazz clubs, and the legendary Apollo Theater. The other is celebrated for its waterfront charm, beautiful beaches, and small-town character. Take a closer look, however, and you’ll discover a rich history that has connected these two communities for generations. For decades, Black families from Harlem spent their summers in Sag Harbor, helping establish one of America’s oldest historic Black beachfront communities. That connection is still alive today, making Apollo in the Hamptons feel less like a fundraiser and more like a homecoming.

On Saturday, August 1, 2026, the Apollo Theater Foundation returns to EHP Resort & Marina in East Hampton for its premier summer fundraiser. The evening promises world-class entertainment, exceptional dining, and an opportunity to support one of the most important cultural institutions in American history.

More Than a Summer Celebration

Apollo in the Hamptons is much more than an elegant evening on the East End.

Every ticket purchased helps support the Apollo Theater Foundation’s year-round artistic programming, arts education, emerging artist development, and community engagement. Those programs continue the Apollo’s mission of creating opportunities for future generations of performers while preserving the theater’s remarkable legacy.

The event also supports the Apollo’s historic restoration, ensuring that one of America’s most celebrated stages continues inspiring audiences for decades to come.

Harlem’s Sound Comes to the Hamptons

This year’s entertainment lineup celebrates both legendary artists and unforgettable live performances.

Guests will enjoy performances from the iconic R&B trio Brownstone, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Estelle, and DJ Aktive. The evening concludes with the return of DJ Cassidy’s legendary Pass the Mic, an experience that has become one of the most talked-about live performances anywhere in the world.

Pass the Mic is never just another concert. It is an interactive celebration that brings together generations of artists in one unforgettable performance. Every appearance creates moments audiences remember long after the music ends.

Waterfront views, exceptional cuisine, dancing, and Harlem’s unmistakable energy promise another memorable evening.

Preserving More Than a Theater

The Apollo Theater is much more than a building on 125th Street.

It represents dreams.

It represents opportunity.

It represents Black excellence.

The Apollo introduced the world to artists including Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Lauryn Hill, and countless others who forever changed American music and culture.

Preserving the Apollo means protecting those stories while creating space for future artists to write their own.

A Weekend Celebrating Black Culture

Apollo in the Hamptons is part of On Our Toes in the Hamptons: A Weekend of Cultural Elevation, at Guild Hall is a collaborative initiative that brings together organizations whose work spans music, theater, dance, visual arts, and community engagement. As part of the weekend’s celebration of Black artistic excellence, the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center will host two free community master classes on Saturday, August 1. The Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts (CAAPA) will lead a community dance class, while internationally acclaimed choreographer Ronald K. Brown and his renowned Evidence, A Dance Company, will offer a free dance workshop. Together, these programs provide a unique opportunity for local residents, aspiring performers, and dance enthusiasts of all ages to learn from some of the nation’s most respected artists while experiencing the rich traditions that continue to connect Harlem and the Hamptons. Events like Apollo in the Hamptons and these free community workshops remind us that preserving culture isn’t only about honoring the past. It’s also about investing in the next generation of artists, storytellers, and creative voices. The partnership demonstrates the power of cultural collaboration while celebrating Black artistic excellence across generations.

Real Talk. Real People.

Growing up in Harlem, the Apollo was never simply another theater. It was the heartbeat of 125th Street. Walking past those famous marquee lights meant something. Every Amateur Night offered someone the opportunity to become the next household name. Every standing ovation became part of Harlem’s story.

Seeing that same spirit celebrated in the Hamptons feels especially meaningful. Sag Harbor has always shared a unique relationship with Harlem. Families built memories there. Friendships were formed there. Traditions continue there today.Apollo in the Hamptons honors that connection beautifully.

Music brings everyone together.
History reminds us why it matters.
Culture ensures the story continues.
That is why preserving the Apollo matters.
That is why events like this deserve our support.

More Than a Gala: An Evening That Celebrated the Natural World at SOFO

July 14, 2026 In Fundraiser for a Cause 4 Mins Read

Jean Shafiroff, Andy Sabin, photo Kurt, Leggard

Bridgehampton, NY: SOFO’s 37th Annual Summer Gala Some summer evenings remind you exactly why people fall in love with the East End; Saturday night, July 11th 2026 at the South Fork Natural History Museum was one of them.

Long before dinner was served or awards were presented, guests gathered beneath towering trees as the sun settled over SOFO’s peaceful grounds. It wasn’t the typical Hamptons gala scene. There were no flashing lights or loud music competing for attention. Instead, there was laughter, conversation, and a shared appreciation for the environment surrounding us.

The cocktail reception alone was worth arriving early. Each chef showcased a signature bite, turning the evening into a culinary tour of the East End.

Golden Pear Café stole my heart with an incredibly rich lobster mac and cheese that disappeared almost as quickly as it hit the serving tray. Page served tender duck on buttery croissants that practically melted in your mouth. Sen delivered beautifully prepared sushi that looked almost too good to eat, while LDV at The Maidstone impressed with a fresh, perfectly balanced tuna tartare.

Then there was Lunch. Their lobster rolls were overflowing with sweet lobster meat. If you’ve followed me long enough, you already know I’m a lobster purist. Personally, I could have done without the celery. The lobster deserved to be the star of every bite.

One surprise of the evening came from Events by Peter Ambrose. His seafood stew was comforting, flavorful, and one of those dishes that had guests asking, “Who made this?”

As cocktails flowed courtesy of Wölffer Estate Vineyard, Kidd Squid Brewing Company, Channing Daughters Winery, LALO Tequila, Hampton Coffee Company, Amagansett Wines & Spirits, and other local beverage partners, guests wandered through the museum grounds, catching up with old friends and making new connections.

When everyone took their seats, the focus shifted from food to purpose.

SOFO honored Bernadette Castro, Fabien Cousteau, Jean Shafiroff, and Stephen and Louise Pesce, recognizing their commitment to conservation, philanthropy, education, and community service.

One of the evening’s most memorable moments came from Fabien Cousteau, grandson of legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau, whose words perfectly captured why organizations like SOFO matter.

“People protect what they love. They love what they understand. They understand what they’re taught.”

That message echoed throughout the night.

The live auction featured once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from Antarctica aboard a National Geographic-Lindblad expedition to private villas in Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast, ocean exploration in Curaçao with Fabien Cousteau, Kyoto, Scotland, Sonoma Wine Country, and the U.S. Open. Every winning bid helps fund SOFO’s educational programs, giving thousands of children and families the opportunity to discover and appreciate the natural world.

Events like this don’t happen without community support.

SOFO’s 37th Annual Summer Gala was made possible through the generosity of sponsors including the Andrew Sabin Family Foundation, Wells Fargo, HSBC, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, RAND Luxury’s Hamptons Concours d’Elegance, Carl Safina & The Safina Center, Whitmores, Summerhill Landscapes, Something Different Party Rental, Dylan’s Candy Bar, the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, and many others. Local restaurants, wineries, breweries, chefs, volunteers, and donors all played a role in creating an evening that celebrated both the East End and the mission of protecting it.

Walking back through the museum grounds at the end of the night, I couldn’t help but think that this was never just another fundraiser.

It was a reminder that conservation starts with connection.

When children explore a trail, families learn about local wildlife, or a community gathers under the trees to invest in protecting the place they call home, that’s where lasting change begins.

For 37 years, SOFO has been creating those moments. Saturday night was simply another chapter in that story.
