The Greater Westhampton Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that it will host the 51th Annual Mary O. Fritchie Juried Fine Arts and Crafts Show on the Great Lawn (corner of Potunk Lane and Main Street) in Westhampton Beach. The show will be held rain or shine on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This premier summer art show will feature more than 65 artists who specialize in oils, acrylics, watercolors, mixed media, wood and metal sculpture, jewelry, wearable art and photography. All featured artists are chosen through a competitive selection process and will be judged by an esteemed panel of artists. “We are proud to once again host a first-rate art show that showcases the talents of a variety of exceptional artists,” said Chamber President Marlene Brill.

The show, now in its 51th year, began informally in the 1950s and was taken over in 1972 by the Greater Westhampton Chamber of Commerce, who named the event for then-Chamber Director Mary O. Fritchie. It has since grown and become a highly respected Hamptons art show. Proceeds from the show provide scholarships to graduating Westhampton Beach High School seniors who display a talent in the fine arts.
