About WACH

 

MISSION: The Women’s Art Center of the Hamptons supports and elevates women thinkers and makers through residencies, educational initiatives, community programs, exhibitions and events for the enjoyment and enrichment of the human spirit with accessibility for all.    

THE GALLERY:  Our gallery will have rotating exhibitions showcasing working artists and emerging talents as well as artists in our community.  When not in use for gallery events the open floor plan will be an ideal space to host seminars, lectures, readings, writers’ evenings, makers' nights, and other worthy objectives.                                                                                     

THE GARDEN: WACH believes that gardens build community.  With that in mind we want to share the opportunity to cultivate, harvest and share the bounty with our residents and guests.  A community garden will be an integral part of our program in which local participants will have the opportunity to share in the care and bounty of the garden.  A dye and flower garden will be planted for natural dye materials to be harvested and used for programs, flowers for use in Ikebana and American/European floral arranging and edible flowers for the kitchen. 

THE WACH ONLINE ART SHOP: Our website (in development) will curate artist-made products and top picks from a vast community of women entrepreneurs.
