LongHouse Winter Benefit to Honor Hugh Hardy in Williamsburg

East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve will open its jubilee year with Design for Living, a winter benefit to be held at National Sawdust in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on March 15. 

The evening will begin at 6:30 with a cocktail reception, which will be followed by a discussion between Hugh Hardy, a noted architect whose projects include the Tow Theater at Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the restoration of Radio City Music Hall, and Peter Zuspan, founding principal of Bureau V, the firm that redesigned the National Sawdust Building. Mr. Hardy will receive the LongHouse Award from Jack Lenor Larsen, the acclaimed textile designer and founder of LongHouse.

At 7:30, Nona Hendryx, one of the founding members of Patti LeBelle and the Bluebelles, will perform. Dinner will follow the performance at 8:30. Tickets for the reception and performance are $150, $100 for LongHouse contemporaries, or $600 and up for the reception, performance, and dinner.
