As co-creator of the Off Hampton Film Festival and co-owner of Hampton Photo Arts & Framing, Cristen’s got a sixth sense for under-the-radar art shows — and the creatives behind them.

Otherworldly

Ben went to high school with Peter Ngo, so we've known him for a really long time. I've been watching his art progress, and he's currently one of those artists I'm obsessed with personally. 

His stuff is ethereal with this punky edge. It's colorful and not at the same time — if that makes sense. We actually just purchased a piece from him because he's really come into his style, and I just love it.

Inside Tip 🪄

Peter's having a solo show in July in Montauk. Be on the lookout.
