Salon 21 by Alex Bass hosted an intimate garden dinner at the Maidstone Hotel in East Hampton, celebrating its summer exhibition “La Dolce Vita” and previewing the gallery’s fall reopening in a new WSA space. The event brought together art world insiders, design leaders, and creative peers, including curator Sharon Coplan Hurowitz, Watermill Center Managing Director Elise Herget, and lifestyle expert Katie Sands Bochner, for an Italian coast-inspired evening of seafood, rosé, and conversation.
The dinner underscores Salon 21’s growing presence in the Hamptons art scene and its strategic expansion into WSA, a notable New York arts hub. By blending social networking with exhibition promotion, the event highlights how galleries increasingly use intimate gatherings to build community and generate buzz around upcoming shows and relocations.
