The Bridgehampton Museum is proud to announce its partnership with Wings Over Haiti for this year’s summer benefit, Hamptons Artists for Haiti 2026. The event will take place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Museum’s Tractor Barn exhibition and event venue space.
An evening celebrating art, music, philanthropy and progress, the benefit will support the expansion of educational opportunities for Haitian children and the continued growth of the Wings Over Haiti school in Ranquitte, Haiti.
The event will feature a silent auction curated by Coco Myers of folioeast, showcasing the work of approximately 60 East End artists across a wide range of disciplines, including painting, photography, sculpture and mixed media. To highlight the ongoing Rosenblum Photography Project at the Ranquitte school, made possible by East Hampton’s Rosenblum family, a dedicated space at the venue will display photographs taken by the schoolchildren. The festivities will also include a special musical performance by Haitian recording artist Clinton Benoit and dance music by DJ Carlos. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres and an open bar.
While the silent auction ends at 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, the show will remain up and viewable in the barn the following weekend, Friday through Sunday, June 24th to 26th, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Unbid pieces will be available for purchase at the low, starting bid price during those hours.
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the Wings Over Haiti school in Ranquitte, which currently educates 126 students and aims to expand its reach to 400 children. During a time of unprecedented crises in the country, and in a region where access to education remains limited, the school provides not only academic instruction, but also stability, nutrition and opportunity.
“Education is the most powerful tool we can offer these children,” said Jonathan Glynn, founder of Wings Over Haiti.
