THE ARTS CENTER AT DUCK CREEK operates in the 19th-century barn once owned by abstract expressionist John Little, who in the 1950s, used this space as a studio and meeting place for artists in the then burgeoning art colony of Springs, East Hampton. OUR MISSION is to honor the spirit of John Little and his fellow artists by serving our community with FREE, innovative arts programs and supporting our participating artists.

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 2006. 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.
