Kanye West Set To Hit The East End

The artist will perform at a benefit in Water Mill on Saturday.

SOUTHAMPTON, NY — Kanye West is fast becoming a fixture in the Hamptons this summer.

Two weeks ago his wife, Kim Kardashian, hit the Revolve House in Water Mill for an afternoon with social media, and now, Kanye will be performing at the Watermill Center’s 23rd Annual Summer Benefit & Auction on Saturday.

The FADA: House of Madness benefit will also include performances by Anohni and Bruce High Quality Foundation, an artists’ collective.

West will be unveiling an art installation he created in collaboration with Robert Wilson, the Water Mill Center’s artistic director.

The funds raised from the benefit will support The Watermill Center’s year-round artist residency and education programs, providing a unique environment for young and emerging artists to explore and develop new work.
