Art lovers from across the East End (and beyond) turned out to support East End Arts at its 2014 Spring gala. "ARTworks" was held on May 17, 2014 at the Sea Star Ballroom in Riverhead, NY. The benefit raised funds to assist the non-profit arts organization.
The evening included a live and silent auction featuring art, performance art by Charlene Lanzel and music by the Trevor Davison 10-piece Swing Band and East End Arts student ensembles. The evening honored Içim & Mark Miller of Miller Environmental Group.
Artists contributing work include Jane Freilicher, Ed Haugevik, Hans Van de Bovenkamp, Jake Rajs, Steve Berger and others.
