The Hope for Depression Research Foundation (HDRF) is pleased to announce that iconic journalist Katie Couric will be the celebrity Grand Marshal of its Sixth Annual Race of Hope on Sunday, August 8, 2021 in Southampton Village. The Race is an annual summer tradition that mobilizes hundreds of participants to raise awareness and funds for mental health research.

Importantly, the Race of Hope this year will still offer a virtual component for the thousands of racers who have embraced the cause and want to participate but live far away.  They still have the option to sign up and complete the distance in their own hometowns.  These racers can share their stories and cheer each other through a special interactive live program broadcast by HDRF over social media on the morning of the actual Race.

Westhampton Library: Artist Reception With Liz Duerschmidt

by Saunders & Associates

Sunday, August 8th, 2021
12:00pm – 3:00pm

Westhampton Free Library
7 Library Ave
Westhampton Beach, NY

The Westhampton Free Library is pleased to welcome Liz Duerschmidt as its artist of the month for August. An artist reception will be held on Sunday, Aug. 8, from 12-3 p.m. at the Westhampton Free Library, 7 Library Ave., Westhampton Beach.

Duerschmidt was perhaps best known in the community as Main Street’s mail carrier for 31 years. In addition to her famous raccoon hat, locals also know her for her pen-and-ink sketches and watercolor paintings of scenes from around Westhampton Beach and the surrounding areas. Her work depicts images of the old Raynor’s Garage on Library Avenue, the Beach Lane Bridge, Eckart’s Luncheonette and Gloria’s.

After retiring from the U.S. Postal Service 10 years ago, Duerschmidt continued with her artwork. While in the Catskills, she enjoyed making “stump totems” and most recently launched a series called “Cooped-Up COVID Creations.” She has also taught art enrichment at Quogue Elementary School and worked for a time at Chico’s.

“We missed Liz,” said librarian Terry McEntee. “We thought it was time to bring her and her artwork back.”

Duerschmidt said she is thrilled with the opportunity to showcase her work in the library and “come back home” to exhibit her paintings and totems.

Guild Hall Presents: Get Dancing!

by Saunders & Associates

Friday, July 30th, 2021 
8:00pm – 9:10pm

Guild Hall
158 Main St
East Hampton, NY

Part-tribute, part live-archive, part new work, GET DANCING is an evening of downtown dance history re-imagined. Presented in partnership with The Watermill Center, the program includes dances from the 1970s by the late choreographer Andy de Groat re-staged by Catherine Galasso, as well as Galasso’s notes on de groat featuring original choreography and a contextualization of de Groat’s legacy, revealing “an aesthetic of task lifted by beautiful music, of circles of the mind, of patience and poetry” (Wendy Perron, 2016).

Andy de Groat emerged as a choreographer in the 1970s. His early choreography places spinning and pedestrian movement within a complex framework, presented with a keen sense of timing, phrasing, and rhythm. He is known for numerous collaborations with Robert Wilson, including the choreography for the original Einstein on the Beach in 1976. de Groat and his company, red notes, were based in France for 30 years where he was nominated twice to the National Order of Arts and Letters. This collaboration with Galasso, created while de Groat was still living, was commissioned by Danspace Project, developed at The Watermill Center, and nominated for a New York “Bessie.”

Galasso will once again re-stage de Groatʼs Fan Dance and Get Wreck, this time with local community performers from the East End, alongside Galasso’s company dancers. The program also includes a film by Jon Meaney and Andrew Horn of de Groatʼs Rope Dance Translations (1979), as well as music by Catherine Galassoʼs father and frequent de Groat collaborator, the César Award-winning composer Michael Galasso, who is best known for his soundtrack for Wong Kar Waiʼs In The Mood For Love.
