About Us

The East End Photographers Group (EEPG) is the longest exhibiting arts organization at Ashawagh Hall with the exception of the Springs Improvement Society, who hosts their member’s show and the Annual Invitational art exhibit. The EEPG is an incorporated non-profit 501(c)(7) organization whose mission is to promote photography and the visual arts in a community setting. It encourages photographic artists to exhibit new work at each show and gives support and a forum to new artists who are just beginning to exhibit their work, realize their personal vision and embrace the photographic process–which the EEPG believes is the most important aspect of attempting to create photographic art.

EEPG was founded in 1988 by Liz Glasgow, Tim Lee, and local Springs photographers. They met up at Lee’s Springs studio to discuss photography, show work, and have some fun. Up until that point, there were no formal photography groups on the east end other than informal meetings at photographers’ homes. The group’s first exhibition at Ashawagh Hall was the weekend of April 13, 1990, which created the tradition of an annual spring photography exhibition at the hall. Gerry Giliberti, a founding EEPG member, continues to guide this legacy forward today.

As a group, EEPG has exhibited on both the North and South Forks of Long Island as well as New York City. The town of East Hampton, New York is our home base.
