• When Mary Woodhouse spurred the community of East Hampton to build Guild Hall, which opened in 1931, she envisioned that it would serve as an arts town hall, a central hub that would invite the community to participate both in the arts and in the conversations that help create community. Guild Hall’s current renovation is attempting to do just that, creating more public spaces, gardens and a café where the community can gather both while programming is underway and at times when the building is closed.
