CULTURED and Italian luxury brand Eleventy hosted an intimate luncheon at collectors Christine and Richard Mack's Bridgehampton home, blending Hamptons art-world socializing with Milanese craftsmanship. Guests viewed artworks by Thomas Houseago, Peter Farago, and Chloe West alongside Eleventy's fall collection, and included writer Candace Bushnell, artists Megan Gabrielle Harris and Arcmanoro Niles, and various advisors and collectors. A portion of proceeds from Eleventy purchases benefited the Mack Art Foundation, which runs a residency program bringing artists to New York for three months.
The event illustrates the convergence of art, fashion, and philanthropy in the Hamptons social scene, highlighting how luxury brands leverage art-world connections to build community and drive sales. The Mack Art Foundation's residency program underscores a growing trend of private collectors funding artist support initiatives, while the presence of young collectors and advisors signals the ongoing importance of networking and patronage in the contemporary art ecosystem.
