TheHamptons.com has been a luxury portal for
The Hamptons on eastern Long Island in New York since September 1995.
Designed by the original team at BH&O/Evantide
Graphical, we want to thank all those who adapted to the brazen idea of the Internet
in a graphical form when it was still an intangible concept as we were carving
our place in history. We are pleased to have played such a major role
early on by providing exclusive internet presence for each of the
organizations on our site and for so many years. We were the only web
presence for The Parrish Art Museum and Group for the South Fork for 11 years and we were the official
web site for the Hampton Classic Horse Show
and Hamptons International Film Festival for several years as well.
Consequently The Hamptons.com has been thoughtfully preserved and
updated with quality content that represents a rich blend of locals with people
from all over the world who come to our infamous
resort best known as "the Hamptons" for its unique local flavor.
A special thanks goes to ALL the
people and volunteers who work at the Group for the South Fork, our local
environmental organization, who have dedicated themselves
to preserving the rural quality of our place in the country. They have
protected all of our hamlets including Westhampton, Southampton, Water
Mill, Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Wainscott, East Hampton, Amagansett AND
that whole beautiful stretch of beach from Napeague to Montauk!!
New on the Events page is our updated People & Parties section where you'll find the most prestigious happenings in the Hamptons and get the scoop about all the major events that are happening from Westhampton to Montauk. We have posted a list of the season's biggest parties so you can plan your summer and not miss these worthy causes. We are capturing small vignettes of each so you if you did miss it at least you'll be able to come back to check out what went on behind the privet. We continue to support The Hampton Classic Horse Show, two Designer Showhouses and The Hamptons International Film Festival as we have been doing since 1995 when The Hamptons.com was their sole presence on the web!! We have a beautiful presentation of the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge & Hamptons Cup at the Bridgehampton Polo Club with polo videos and the new schedule of upcoming polo matches. We have captured video inside the V.I.P. tent for you to preview and get a sense of what this coveted invitation-only party is all about during the polo tournament. The Parrish Art Museum in Southampton and Guild Hall of East Hampton are two pillars of our community who have given us beautiful selections from their permanent collections as well as their current exhibits on a revolving basis. Many of the most notable artists in the world such as William Merritt Chase, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Jane Frielicher, Alfonso Ossorio, Fairfield Porter, Larry Rivers and James Rosenquist each a part of the East End are presented on these pages. In our Art Gallery you'll find both local, up-and-coming, very gifted artists as well some of the most famous ones. We maintain an exclusive feature of color work by Herman LeRoy Emmet of True Blue Pictures. Emmet is best known for his photographic essay about a migrant farm family entitled Fruit Tramps, covered by Life magazine and part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art. Much of the art in our gallery is for sale. If you are interested in a piece, please use your mouse on any of the thumbnail images you will find on each page to get the full screen shot and you will find the prices as well. The Group for The South Fork is the only professionally staffed not-for-profit organization working full time on all environmental issues affecting not only the Hampotns but the entire South Fork and Shelter Island. The Group is supported entirely by the contributions of its members so please join this very worthy cause and help protect the east end of Long Island, better known as the Hamptons. You can find out all about the Group and also navigate to their new web site for upcoming newsletters that The Hamptons.com has done for over a decade to help promote earth friendly awareness on Long Island. A very overlooked side of the Hamptons is of course its Native American history which is rooted in the Shinnecock Indian Nation and the Montauk Indian Tribe. Both the Montauketts and Shinneock, "People of the Stony Shore", stem from the Algonquin heritage and culture and the Shinnecock remain one of the oldest, self-governing tribes in the country. We are featuring the artwork of David Bunn Martine, a local native of Southampton. The move for real estate in the Hamptons continues to be as vigorous as ever. Lucrative opportunities have lured developers from all over the world to invest in hot real estate properties but thankfully the Group for the South Fork continues to be committed to protecting our environment from overdevelopment so this area retains its character and charm. Our Words section is a fresh environment for some new and some already well known local writers to show their colors. Karen Amster-Young is our feature contributor who will be writing a weekly column called The Beach Chair Chronicles for the summer season and The Desk Chair Chronicles during the wintertime. We encourage guest writers to register for access to the hamptons blog to provide a broad range of interest. You must first send us a comment to be approved as a contributor to our hamptons writers' section. Please use our comments page which has been revised to block spam.
