Cristen Motty, co-creator of the Off Hampton Film Festival and co-owner of Hampton Photo Arts, lets us in on her favorite places.

East Hampton Curation

Run by Andrea McCafferty and Kat O'Neill, White Room has established itself as a destination gallery in East Hampton Village throughout the year.

Once inside, visitors discover exciting work presented in a welcoming, intimate environment that attracts both serious collectors and casual art enthusiasts alike.

The exhibitions follow thoughtfully developed themes – with this season's offerings ranging from rock music to femininity to mod style – creating a diverse program that we think merits repeat visits.

Inside Tip 📌

For those seeking an authentic taste of the local scene, White Room's openings provide the perfect opportunity to engage with the community. Their rock n' roll show debut in April 2025 was an event, drawing a capacity crowd of artists and Hamptons residents.
