About Guild Hall
Guild Hall opened in 1931 in downtown East Hampton, supported by Mary Woodhouse, a village resident, to bring visual arts and performing arts together in one place. The brick-and-wood building is on Main Street, near the village pond.
The museum has galleries devoted to art connected to eastern Long Island, with temporary shows that have featured works by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and many other artists who lived in the area. An annual exhibition gathers works by local artists.
The John Drew Theatre inside the building presents plays, concerts, film screenings and lectures, especially in summer, when the schedule is busiest.
