Younger Guild Hall Audience To Gather for Summer Fête

In an attempt to attract its future supporters at a younger age, Guild Hall in East Hampton has instituted the Young Contemporaries program and will celebrate members at a summer party this weekend.

Anyone who is 21 to 45 years of age is invited to join the Young Contemporaries gathering at the party on Saturday, from 4 to 6 p.m., at the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton.

“We are looking forward to attracting a younger audience by offering unique and relevant experiences curated especially for them throughout the year,” said Ruth Appelhof, the executive director at Guild Hall.

Programs and events will be offered throughout the year especially for young professionals.

Guild Hall Contemprary members will be admitted free and others are invited to join for $80 — and receive free admission to the party — or pay $100 per person. 

There will be passed hors d'oeuvres from Tom Colicchio's menu and signature drinks will be served courtesy of Crystal Head Vodka and sparking wine will be served by Chandon. The Topping Rose House opened in May.

The party will feature a performance by Elecktra KB, as well as a sneak preview of the Neo Political Cowgirls performance of "EVE." A 2013 Porsche Boxster or Cayman will be available for a test drive.

Admission is online or at Topping Rose, starting at 3:45 p.m.
