If you’re going to be out East this weekend, don’t miss Art Southampton which is running through
the weekend. Presented by Art Miami, one of the world’s most prestigious international contemporary
and modern art fairs, this inaugural Art Southampton equals its sister fair in offering the highest quality of art from the world’s most respected galleries. And the works are being displayed in a luxurious
specially constructed 75,000 square foot Pavilion on the Elks Lodge Fairgrounds at 605 County Road.
The Pavilion itself is a wonder to see and experience, featuring an elegant VIP Lounge and impressive
private spaces for galleries. It was also built to withstand winds of up to 190 mph. Opening night the
big crowd of luminaries never even heard the raging storm that blew across the bay mid-evening.

Among the highlights of the weekend-long Fair is the premiere of “HEAARTBEAT” a documentary that
takes an incisive look at the late renowned sculptor John Chamberlain by his stepdaughter filmmaker
Alexandra Fairweather.
The screening will benefit the Ross School’s Chamberlain–Fairweather Scholarship Fund for the Arts.
The Fund was created by John Chamberlain, Prudence Fairweather and Alexandra Fairweather in
2007 to recognize and support students with a passion for the arts who are in need of financial aid to
receive the excellent global interdisciplinary education offered by Ross School. Each year this scholarship encourages young artists to realize their dreams and impact the future of fine arts.
Tonight Robert Wilson will host a VIP reception followed by an additional screening of “HEAARTBEAT”
to launch the Watermill Center/Chamberlain Residency Grant Fund. Many international friends and
local supporters of The Watermill Center will be attending their famed gala Saturday evening.
