Art Out East: Hamptons Summer Getaway
July 10 - 11th, 2025
Escape to the Hamptons: A Curated Day of Art, Culture & Connection!
On Thursday July 10th, you're invited to join Women of Culture along with ART ASSET CLASS™ for an unforgettable summer escape to the Hamptons — a region long celebrated for its creative spirit and sophisticated charm.
Legendary for its exclusive parties and stunning beaches, the Hamptons first began as a colony for artists escaping the city heat during the summer, and this is a chance to dive into the region's rich visual art scene.
This one-day art-filled retreat is designed to delight your senses and nourish your soul. Step away from the fast pace of city life and immerse yourself in a thoughtfully curated experience combining world-class art, meaningful connection, and beachy elegance.
✨ Highlights include:
Exclusive VIP access to the Hamptons Fine Art Fair — the premier art event of the season, featuring blue-chip and emerging galleries from around the world.
A private guided tour at the renowned Parrish Art Museum, offering insight into the rich artistic legacy of the East End, as well as the current exhibits.
A leisurely picniclunch and wine tasting on the gorgeous grounds of Duck Walk Vineyards, where you'll enjoy delicious fare in a charming setting while connecting with fellow art-lovers and like-minded women.
If staying overnight, join us on Friday for an optional visit to the Peter Marino Art Foundation, a stunning contemporary art and architecture space that’s quickly becoming a must-see cultural destination.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a casual enthusiast, or simply seeking a day of beauty and inspiration, this day trip promises deep connection, cultural enrichment, and a refreshing change of pace.
Spots are limited — reserve yours now and treat yourself to a truly art-full day in the Hamptons.

FAQ's
1. Can I book my own hotel separate from the shared house?
Yes, though you will also need to have your own car as public transit (even ride shares) can be scarce in the area. If you would like to do this, please contact me directly at alex@womenofculture.org for pricing, etc.
2. What if I can’t take off work on Friday/need to leave that evening?
You could take the MetroNorth to Beacon and then get a car service to the house in Philipstown, or someone from the group could pick you up if the timing aligns. For uber or lyft, you may need to wait 10-20 minutes at the station before arrival but it’s a safe area, and then you can ride the rest of the weekend in one of the group member’s cars.
3. What is NOT included in the cost of the 2-night trip?
All meals as well as any additional activities or rideshare services, are separate and must be paid individually. You should estimate at least $100+/day for additional activities as well as food & drinks.
4. What if I don’t know anyone — do I need to come with a friend?
No! Most women attend our trips on their own, and the idea is that we will all get to know one another over the course of the weekend. However, please do let me know if you are coming with a friend with whom you would like to share a room.
5. Do I have to stay with the group/attend all pre-planned activities on the itinerary?
All attendees are expected to attend the scheduled group activities unless the group leader is given advance notice, or in the event of sickness or an emergency. No refunds can be provided for any of the included activities not attended, and we won’t be able to arrange any transport to things that aren’t included in the itinerary.
Please remember this a group trip designed for the community to experience UPAW, together. Please do NOT book the trip if you prefer to do your own thing or are not aligned with the proposed itinerary.
