Journey East Hampton is proud to host acclaimed contemporary artist Nikolina Kovalenko as part of our Hamptons artist residency program for the second time. As a destination where art in the Hamptons meets refined hospitality, this special partnership invites guests and the local community to experience contemporary art in East Hampton in an immersive and intimate way.
May 16th through May 27th, Kovalenko’s Hamptons residency transforms Journey East Hampton into a living art space—where creativity is constantly unfolding. Guests can connect directly with the artist, explore her nature-inspired works, and witness the creative process firsthand in a boutique hotel art residency unlike any other.
For travelers seeking an art-focused getaway in the Hamptons, this residency offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of today’s leading voices in environmental and contemporary art.
With exhibitions across New York, Europe, and Asia, Nikolina Kovalenko is known for creating powerful, immersive pieces focused on ecological themes. Her latest works, developed during her time in East Hampton, are influenced by the region’s rich natural beauty—from oceanfront landscapes to ancient woodlands. Her presence at Journey solidifies our position as a vibrant hub for emerging artists in the Hamptons.
Located minutes from top East Hampton art galleries, Journey East Hampton offers a serene, design-forward space for travelers looking to engage with Hamptons art events and local artists. Guests are encouraged to visit the on-site studio space, view an exclusive curation of works, and join scheduled talks and previews.
