I’m excited to be accepted to this premier summer art show that will feature more than 65 artists who specialize in oils, acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, wood and metal sculpture, jewelry, wearable art, and photography. All featured artists are chosen through a competitive selection process and will be judged by an esteemed panel.

The show, now in its 50th year, began informally in the 1950s and was taken over in 1972 by the Greater Westhampton Chamber of Commerce, who named the event for then-Chamber Director Mary O. Fritchie. It has since grown and become a highly respected Hamptons art show. Proceeds from the show provide scholarships to graduating Westhampton Beach High School seniors who display talent in the fine arts.
