The Parrish Art Museum's Midsummer Party rarely disappoints. This year’s party honored the Parrish’s Founding Partners, an illustrious group of leading art patrons deeply committed to making the vision of the new Parrish Art Museum a reality. The Midsummer Party is one of our most momentous events and the highlight of the Hamptons social season. Co-chairs of this dazzling evening were Parrish trustees Deborah Bancroft, Etta Froio, Dorothy Lichtenstein, Adam Sender, and David Wassong. After Ten Co-chairs were Josh Gaynor, Anne Huntington, Carolina Portago, Theodora Portago, and Serena Tufo.

The annual gala benefit was successfully capped of with After Ten, a 4 hour after party that began promptly at 10 PM. After Ten was literally the icing on the cake, no pun intended, as guests arrived for dancing and dessert under the illuminated tent in a garden sanctuary. Those desiring dancing could do so to DJ Tom Finn's music in the main dining area after the elaborate dinner turned into a virtual disco, completed with matte wooden floor. The room's frigid temperature didn't seem to phase the small dancing crowd who didn't seem to tire.
