HMI is the nation’s oldest and largest LGBTQ+ youth services organization with all proceeds from the benefit helping to continue life-saving services to LGBTQ+ youth. Funds raised from ‘School’s Out’ ensures our young people have the resources they need year-round.
The ‘Arc House’ was designed using a combination of glass, steel, stone and wood by East Hampton-based architect Mazier Behrooz in 2010. The home’s roof and side walls of the upper level were constructed with a 60 foot by 20 foot self supporting corrugated steel arch. This one of a kind house was inspired by an airplane hanger and is set on 2.7 acres and ‘School’s Out’ will be the first event ever hosted on the property.
