Overview

The 2021 Clothesline Art Sale has ended. Thank you to all of the artists and art purchasers!

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARTISTS and ONLINE PURCHASERS:
Clothesline Artwork Pick-Up is this week Monday, July 26 – Friday, July 30, 10am-4pm. Please make an appointment HERE to pick up.
Pick-Up is a drive-thru in our parking lot off of Pondview Lane.


Clothesline is one of the most beloved and affordable art traditions in the Hamptons since its inception in 1946. For 75 years, it has provided accessible artwork to the community, while supporting the local artists who thrive here. Throughout our history, great artists such as Alfonso Ossorio, James Brooks, John Little, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Elaine and Willem de Kooning have shared their talents to support Guild Hall in this unique annual fundraising effort.

Over 300 artists enter the sale each year and art lovers everywhere flock to Guild Hall looking for their next masterpiece. Works range in price from $75 to $5,000 with all proceeds split 50/50 between the artist and Guild Hall.

While we celebrate our 90th Anniversary this year, we continue to reimagine our programs and how we can bring them to the public safely. We are so excited to continue the tradition of Clothesline in its 75th year by holding the sale outdoors on the grounds of Guild Hall following all social-distancing protocols and government safety guidelines.

We are also utilizing a touchless online-only purchasing system that will allow for safe and easy check-out, while also allowing you to shop from the comfort of your home.

For questions regarding the Clothesline Art Sale please contact Casey Dalene at cdalene@guildhall.org or 631-324-0806 extension 19.
