Cook, Hall & Hyde, Inc., a leading regional provider of
commercial and personal insurance, employee benefits, and risk management
services, is currently hosting an art exhibit featuring the works of
renowned artists from Long Island’s East End. The “Artists of the Hamptons
Exhibition,” produced by Marie Rosso and Diana Plitt, was launched with a
special reception held at Cook, Hall & Hyde’s East Hampton office located at
461 Pantigo Road, where the works will be on display through October 27th,
2006. Over 300 attended the exhibition opening, which also included a fine
wine tasting courtesy of Jacques Franey’s Domaine Wine & Spirits. Other area
businesses that contributed to the reception’s success were the Amagansett
IGA, Amagansett Farmers Market, Stuart’s Seafood Market, and C.Whitmore
Gardens.
According to Ms. Plitt, “We gathered the art of acclaimed artists from East
Hampton, Amagansett, Springs, Wainscott, Sagaponack, Water Mill and Shelter
Island, who, like Jackson Pollack and other well-known artists, found the
light in this land by the sea inspiring. Thanks to Cook, Hall & Hyde, who is
graciously hosting this exhibit, Long Islanders and visitors to the East End
can experience this inspiration in the form of masterful paintings, prints,
photography and sculptures.”
“Cook, Hall & Hyde has a long history of supporting the local art community
and thought an exhibition in our office was a natural extension of that
legacy,” stated Mr. Tim Brenneman, Executive Vice President at Cook, Hall &
Hyde. “Our employees and customers are enjoying the display and we encourage
everyone to come out and view the artwork. We hope to be able to do this
again in the future,” he added.
