Block Party
BOFFO hosted a three hour block party on August 9, 2014 from 5-8pm in the architecturally historic homes along the bay side of Sail Walk at the East End of Fire Island Pines. The evening featured immersive artist experiences, performances, art sales, and highlights from the work produced by the 2014 BOFFO Residency Fire Island artists. Each home along Sail Walk highlighted a unique dynamic installation with music provided by Frankie Sharp and cocktails provided by James Beard Award Winning mixologist Leo Robitschek. Beginning at 8pm, BOFFO hosted a Sunset Benefit Dinner consisting of a lobster and clam bake on the bayside beach behind the BOFFO Residency House. Guests had an opportunity to dine with artists from the residency, cultural tastemakers, and community leaders.
