Lifting the Spirit at Duck Creek, by Biddle Duke
”Sitting there with my head swirling in the clouds and jazz swirling in my soul, my mind went to … whom do I thank for this?”
(Link to a pdf of this East Hampton Press article here)
Down Home at Duck Creek, by Emily Toy
“A Springs-based art center honors (and transforms) a local legacy.” (Link to a pdf of this Southforker article here)
Historic Artists’ Sites of Long Island Made possible by the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation
goop “A non-Hamptons Hamptons spot—this art center and music venue is way off the beaten track, but worth the trip. With a low-key, word-of-mouth Berkshires vibe, bring a chair and a picnic and enjoy the historic, community-minded location. Programming is free.”
DIVERSIONS: American Pastoral, by David E. Rattray “Away from the bustle, on just under seven acres in a bucolic corner of Springs, is Duck Creek — the surprising little arts center doing big things.”

HISTORIC DUCK CREEK FARM is an 18th-century homestead including a farmhouse built by the Edwards family, members of the original settlers of the Maidstone Colony now known as East Hampton. The property was purchased by the Town of East Hampton with *Community Preservation Funds in 2004. Its restoration and adaptation as an arts center was spearheaded by a group of local residents, who now manage the property and its programming as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation called The Arts Center at Duck Creek.

The Arts Center at Duck Creek, Inc is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
