The Westhampton Beach Project, a two-day event, was held at the Great Lawn on Main Street in Westhampton Beach, NY, July 28 and 29 . It featured performances by the renowned Parsons Dance Company and celebrated singer Chris Ruggiero, was a treat for attendees! Pairing these incredible performances with delicious bites and drinks from local Long Island restaurants surely added to the enjoyment of the evenings.
The event was free and open to the public. However, guests were given the opportunity to receive VIP lawn seats and other perks with a charitable donation, which tangibly supports the Musical Mime Company, INC. This not-for-profit organization’s dedication to assembling artists and collecting information on corporal movement and art in general is a noble effort in promoting creativity and artistic expression.
The Westhampton Beach Project is an initiative conceptualized by Steven Colucci, a local Westhampton resident, artist, and President of the Musical Mime Theater. With over 45 years of experience in the arts, Colucci decided to dedicate himself to this project with the aim of exposing the younger generation to various art forms he has studied and worked on throughout his career.
The project involved organizing a two-night event in Westhampton Beach to showcase different art forms for the community and the guests. The event included performances from the Musical Mime Theater, where Colucci serves as President, to entertain and educate the audience about this unique form of theatrical expression.
Additionally, during the event, guests were given the opportunity to view and purchase Colucci’s paintings. The proceeds from the sales of his artworks would have been channeled back into supporting the Westhampton Beach Project. This kind of fundraising approach would help the initiative continue its mission and potentially expand its reach in the community.
Overall, the Westhampton Beach Project was noble endeavor, bridging the gap between different generations and promoting artistic expressions while supporting a local artist’s work and the arts in general within the Westhampton community. Events like this not only bring joy and entertainment to the community but also foster support for important causes and organizations. Kudos to The Westhampton Beach Project for organizing such a fantastic event with a charitable purpose!
The Westhampton Beach Project is funded by Steven Colucci and Colucci Musical Mime Theater and the Lanza Family Foundation.
