The Town of East Hampton possesses a rich architectural heritage dating from colonial times which is anchored in its traditional economic cornerstones of farming and fishing. The enduring charm of local residences, shops and others buildings, together with the historic association which many of these buildings have with each other and with the streetscapes, constitute a visual and cultural landscape which has allowed the Town to be acclaimed as one of the most beautiful and historic communities in the nation. The Town Board has established procedures to provide for review and approval of the architecture, design, scale and style of certain classes of buildings and structures, and for the design, scale and architectural compatibility of historic landmarks and structures and improvements within designated historic districts and agricultural overlay districts. It is important to ensure that commercial building design and, in certain circumstances, residential building design, are harmonious with the Town's essential character. The Board consists of five members appointed by the Town Board. Each member serves a five-year term.

Between 2013-2018, Esperanza León, principal of ARTSOLAR, presented art+architecture collaborations in empty real estate, displaying carefully curated, personal collections of paintings, works on paper, mixed media, photographs, sculpture, and video by local, national, and international artists.Being attune to the idea of making art physically, intellectually, and financially accessible informed the conception of The Art of Living with Art. To complement and enhance the activities of ARTSOLAR, The Art of Living with Art took the acquisition, placement, and enjoyment of art to a different level. Residential settings provided the ideal 'stage' to present artwork in a less contrived environment than the customary gallery space. The significance and impact of artwork in a residence cannot be underestimated.Through these collections presented as loosely thematic exhibitions in houses of varying architectural styles, clients and prospective collectors were able to appreciate works of art in the more familiar environs of a home, at once enjoying the particularities in design of each residence. No matter how special the architecture, houses come alive and, indeed, become the most distinctive homes with the addition of art.

A selection of works by Rafael Ferrer, dating from the 1970s to present, will go on display in a solo exhibition at the Guild Hall Museum beginning 22 October 2011. Ferrer, a recognised artist from Puerto Rico who has lived, studied, and worked in the United States since the early 50s, was first known most prominently in this country for his conceptual work in the late 60s. He turned back to painting more fully in the 80s and has had a prolific career producing an extremely diverse body of work. A retrospective, "Retro/Active", was exhibited at El Museo del Barrio in 2010, curated by Deborah Cullen. Ferrer currently lives and works in Greenport, New York.
