What a day! The East Hampton Arts & Culture Commission Garden Tour and Plein Air Painting event on July 9 was so much fun. Thank you, Karen Gallmon, Alison Walck, Sheila Mullen, Epoch Arts, The East Hampton Food Bank and East Hampton Community Gardens for sharing your beautiful spaces and taking the time to greet visitors and share your passion for gardening and art. Each location was special in its own way because of the thoughtful details each host offered.

We are also so grateful to artists Elizabeth Sennett, Geralyn Yocher, Laura Bonham, Robin Hammeal-Urban and Douglas Farrell for setting up your easels to Plein Air paint during the event. Seeing you in action brought so much enjoyment to everyone involved.

Finally, thanks to everyone who attended the event. It was a great turnout; the weather was perfect and the donations to the East Hampton Food Bank were plentiful!
