EAST HAMPTON —Returning for its fourth year to the East End, SCOPE Hamptons will transform the 25,000 square-foot East Hampton Studios into a world-class art fair and destination-location coinciding with the 15th Annual Watermill Center Summer Benefit. SCOPE is a major contributor to the Hamptons most celebrated weekend of art. Centrally located and inches from seasoned and emerging collector's homes, East Hamptons Studio is SCOPE’s home away from home for the New York and international art enthusiast. With over 40 international established and emerging contemporary galleries from over 15 countries, SCOPE will present a full schedule of special events, performances and screenings, alongside museum-quality programming, creating what has become “The Hamptons Weekend of Art.”

SCOPE is proud to present the first Collector Mentorship Auction during SCOPE Hamptons 08. Continuing its "Art Fair as Resource" mandate, this silent auction features seasoned collectors Beth Rudin DeWoody, Melva Bucksbaum, Raymond Learsy, Eileen and Richard Ekstract, Adam Lindemann, Enrique Norten, Jed Walentas, Rick Wester, Dennis Oppenheim, Nancy Seltzer and others donating an hour of their time to mentor less experienced art enthusiasts. Bidding will be young collectors from MoMA, Whitney, The New Museum, The Parrish Museum, Guild Hall, Core Club and Soho House. This unique event, providing networking opportunities and educating beginning collectors while promoting philanthropy, will benefit the SCOPEFoundation.

Introducing artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to new audiences internationally has made SCOPE the most comprehensive destination for the emerging art world available anywhere. With fairs in Miami, Basel, New York, London and the Hamptons, SCOPE is proud to be an influential presence in the expanding global art market.
