Guild Hall of East Hampton

I will admit that I had low expectations. I purchased tix for the Kidfest Jason Bishop show and figured it would be decent, post-​beach air conditioned afternoon entertainment. I was completely wrong — it was a really memorable and terrific time. We arrived early and saw the Lichtenstein exhibit which was small but had a number of good pieces. It was nicely curated. One of the lobby employees approached me and asked if the kids would be interested in participating in a cookie decorating class but I said they wanted to see the pre-​show bubble guy so I offered up my parents and in-​laws. She happily invited them all to join the class and even set up a separate table for them! They had a great time and even took home goodie bags with extra cookies and tons of decorating equipment for the kids (who were in the lobby enjoying the bubble guy). But the main event was the best part — the magic show was phenomenal. Even my father-​in-​law, who is a tough critic, said Bishop was the best magician he’d ever seen. Bishop was funny and engaging and although he did some standards like the disappearing woman and card tricks, he performed some tricks that none of us have seen before. Everyone at Guild Hall — from the lobby folks to the cookie team to the performers — was fabulous. And to think — it was just $ 14/​ticket for the entire afternoon. What a steal!

its a small museum with two halls — i was shopping on main street and ended up there
its free admissions on friday so i didnt have to pay — good way to spend an hour

Ah, this place has hosted some good old times and art shows. I remember the good old days when they hosted some silly public school artwork. I remember having my work featured there when I was in elementary school.
I’ve also seen some great work featured there… well, when it’s not Hamptons art snobbery… hehe. That’s why I give it four stars.
