East End Arts Summer Soirée
On its surface, the Summer Soirée is a vibrant celebration at an incredible venue. More deeply, it is a gathering of people who believe that creativity and creative expression strengthen our community.
Together, we honor the artists, educators, supporters, and advocates who make the arts thrive on the East End while investing in opportunities that inspire the next generation.
Please join us August 29th as we celebrate the stories we’ve helped create together and invest in the next chapter, ensuring that the arts continue to inspire, unite, and strengthen our East End community!
This year’s Summer Soirée will also celebrate Henry Brody of Hampton Bays, recipient of the 2026 Linda Rie Cohen Rising Star Award. The 17-year-old multi-instrumentalist was selected from more than 40 applicants to receive the $10,000 unrestricted merit award and will be recognized during the evening with a special performance alongside East End Arts Head of Music Chris Jones.
