The Watermill Center will once again bring together the worlds of theater, art, fashion,

International Summer Program Participants come from over 25 countries to create installations
and performances throughout the eight and a half acres of grounds during the event. The funds
raised will support The Watermill Center’s year round Artist Residency Programs, providing a
unique environment for young and emerging artists to explore and develop new work.
The Watermill Center Annual Summer Benefit celebrates the work of international artists through an engaging and dynamic evening. Described as “an enchanted forest” and ”performance art extravaganza,” the Annual Summer Benefit unites the worlds of art, theatre, design, and fashion to raise funds in support of our year-round programming. This summer, invited artists will fill The Watermill Center’s property with installations for guests to explore while enjoying cocktails and refreshments across our scenic campus.
