Discover the Unexpected

Here's your last chance to see a one-of-a-kind show at Guild Hall.

Called Functional Relationships: Artist-Made Furniture, the exhibit examines the work of East End artists who've ventured beyond their primary practice to transform materials — from surfboards to foam — into extraordinary design pieces.

Featured artists include Scott Bluedorn, Liz Collins, Quentin Curry, Peter Dayton, Connie Fox, Kurt Gumaer, Mary Heilmann, Yung Jake, Donald Judd, Julian Schnabel, Karen Simon, Strong-Cuevas, Mark Wilson, Robert Wilson, Evan Yee, Nico Yektai, Almond Zigmund, and John Chamberlain — best known for his metal sculptures but here shown in a surprising new light.

Special Commissions

To expand on these themes, Guild Hall commissioned two companion projects:

• Lindsay Morris offers a photographic look at artists’ homes and how furniture shapes these personal spaces.

• Almond Zigmund's Wading Room installation in the Marks Family South Gallery invites visitors to move, interact, and sit within an imaginative environment.

Inside Tips 🪄

Don't miss Scott Bluedorn's eye-catching surfboard chairs.

And take your time in the Wading Room — it's designed for conversation, relaxation, and experiencing art as part of daily life. The colorful, playful space is energizing.
