Meghan Marron • July 16, 2025

On a beautiful summer evening in the Hamptons, an inspiring mix of art enthusiasts, tastemakers, and real estate leaders gathered for an exclusive event at The Watermill Center. Hosted by The Agency Art House and The Agency Hamptons , the gathering brought together the worlds of real estate and fine art in an unforgettable setting.

Held on the evening before the launch of Upside Down Zebra —an expansive exhibition exploring the artistic value of children’s imagination and its influence on contemporary art—the event offered an exclusive preview that celebrated creativity, connection, and conversation.

As the sun set over the East End, collectors, artists, and agents enjoyed a special cocktail hour, sipping pours from Channing Daughters Winery and Aplós to the sounds of sitarist Gian Carlo .

Fireside Chats & Fresh Perspectives

Following the welcoming cocktail hour, guests were invited to gather for a fireside chat led by Arushi Kapoor , founder of The Agency Art House. The panel discussion centered on the power of collecting and the evolving role of art in shaping legacy. Panelists included  Noah Khoshbin, curator of The Watermill Center;  art collectors Marie Lippman and Christine Mack as well as writer and artist Ross Simonini.

Together, they discussed the art of collecting as an act of stewardship, personal expression, and cultural connection.

 

Support from The Agency’s Local Teams & Leadership 

The evening brought out the entire team from The Agency Hamptons, including Managing Partners Dana Trotter and Tyler Whitman , as well as Managing Directors Rylan Jacka and Randi Ball

Mauricio Umansky , Founder and CEO of The Agency, and Rainy Hake Austin , President of The Agency, were also in attendance, underscoring our brokerage’s broader commitment to building community and supporting culture on a local and global level.
