Saint Mark’s Church is sponsoring their first Westhampton Festival of the Arts on the Great Meadow, Main Street, Westhampton, New York. While not a new location for art events on Long Island, this is a new addition to Paragon’s event management. We intend to approach this as a “new” event with our characteristic thoroughness and aggressiveness in advertising and promotion so the event will be restored to a ranking within the top “100 Best Fine Art Shows”.
The Village of Westhampton Beach is located on the scenic south shore of Long Island, in the eastern end of Suffolk County. It is located approximately 78 miles from midtown Manhattan so readily accessible to New Yorkers. Westhampton Beach is considered by many to be the “First Hampton”. Since its origins, Westhampton Beach has been one of the fastest growing communities on eastern Long Island, yet has still managed to maintain its laidback reputation. Trendy shops can be found on Main Street and celebrities routinely observed walking about town. Westhampton is easily accessible without infamous “Hampton” traffic jams. Lodging rates are expected to be considerably more reasonable than in the East Hampton area. These are the demographics most sought after by Artists. Coupled with our EXTRAORDINARY MEDIA EXPOSURE, this show is bound to be one of the Northeast greats.
