The Artful Life: 6 Things Galerie Editors Love This Week

1. Dom Pérignon Launches New Vintages with a Dinner Series in the Hamptons

To debut new vintages of Dom Pérignon, no ordinary cocktail party or simple dinner party will do. Instead, the legendary Champagne house is hosting a series of dinners with renowned Chef Francis Mallmann at a private 25-acre estate in the Hamptons. From July 19 through 21, guests will be able to be among the first to sip the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 and Vintage 2006 Plénitude 2 (P2), which will be paired with a tasting menu by the Argentinian chef known for his cooking with live fire. “Taking inspiration from Dom Pérignon’s latest creations, I’m thrilled to guide guests through a culinary journey where textures and flavors harmonize in unexpected ways,” said Mallmann. “Each dish will be an invitation to explore the nuanced depths of these spectacular vintages.” Dom Pérignon Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon advised on this special experience that will take guests on this journey of the senses, exploring the paradoxical nature of each of these releases. Guests can reserve this one-of-a-kind experience, priced at $4,000 per person, by submitting an inquiry. —Jacqueline Terrebonne

2. The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Unveils Pride Month Collaboration

With a history stretching back to 1969, New York’s Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art is the world’s only museum dedicated to LGBTQIA+ art. This June, the Lower Manhattan institution launched its first fashion collaboration with a bold collection of silk scarfs, t-shirts, and bags in conjunction with brand Travis Taddeo, which has a brick and mortar location near the museum, on Grand Street. (Both locations will carry the line, also available online.) Emblazoned with text from a drawing by Candy Darling, the pieces were released last week with a striking campaign shot by buzzy New York photographer Deonté Lee that took place at the museum and features potent works of art in the background. Proceeds will go towards the Leslie-Lohman’s current and future programming. —Geoffrey Montes

Across the LongHouse Reserve’s bucolic 16 acres, a wonderland of outdoor artworks enliven garden plots bursting with bright green foliage and flowering shrubs.
