Hamptons Art Network, or ‘HAN,’ is a consortium co-founded by Andrea Grover, Terrie Sultan, and Elka Rifkin in 2016, consisting of leaders from the East End’s beloved cultural not-for-profit organizations spanning from Duck Creek in the east to the Westhampton Performing Art Center in the west and everyone in between! HAN meets monthly, joining forces to create a unified arts community that supports and encourages collaboration and advances culture on the East End. Join us for our largest Knowledge Friday yet to learn the history of HAN and hear from its many members about their organizations.
