At Hamptons Art Hub, our editorial is created by a well-respected and experienced team of art critics and journalists. Our writers are steeped in the art world and present their insights in a clear manner designed to engage art fans, collectors, art world professionals, artists and anyone interested in discovering contemporary and modern art.

WHO WE ARE

PAT ROGERS is an award-winning arts journalist, publisher and managing editor of Hamptons Art Hub. Rogers has been writing about art and culture in the Hamptons since 1997.

Rogers founded Hamptons Art Hub in 2012 to foster awareness of the visual arts in The Hamptons and East End of Long Island and subsequently expanded the publication's focus to include the art communities of New York City and South Florida (Miami and Palm Beach County in particular). In light of the New York Times decision to cease arts coverage in the NY Metropolitan area in September 2016, Hamptons Art Hub's most recent expansion (January 2017) embraces a focus on visual art on Long Island and Westchester County in New York and Fairfield County in CT as the first steps to revealing highlights from the entire NY Metropolitan area.
