The Hamptons art community let loose at Parrish Art Museum’s Spring Fling fundraiser on April 25, 2015. This year’s museum benefit featured live music from Noiz Entertainment, hors d'oeuvre and an open bar featuring wine and spirits from Niche Import Co. and Alpha Noble Vodka. Guests scouted around the museum's permanent collection galleries partaking in an art scavenger hunt with prizes awarded to those conquering the art treasure hunt the fastest.
Proceeds from the event help fund the museum's year-round educational programs for children.
“For nearly a decade, I've witnessed the children on the East End—including my own daughter—delight in and benefit from the rich educational offerings at the Museum throughout the year,” said event co-chair Laura Wynne. “I am honored to be a part of this important event, and look forward to endless possibilities for art education at the Parrish for the entire community.”
