Longtime Parrish Art Museum benefactor and Past Chairman of Landscape Pleasures,  Mica Ertegun once again opened her magnificent Halsey Neck estate,
Boatman House, for an early evening cocktail reception
for the Museum’s benefactors and patrons and a number of the Past Chairmen of the annual two day horticultural
event which this year featured a symposium with
renowned landscape historian Linda Tankard,
acclaimed landscape architect Dan Pearson and a
special conversation on “Color” with famed interior
 designer Charlotte Moss and the irrepressible
 Isaac Mizrahi.

Boatman House is truly one of the most beautiful homes
on the East End. The baronial rooms are sumptuously
but comfortably decorated and rare works of art fill the
walls of each room. Several of the sitting rooms and the library look down over the sweeping lawns to the serenity of Taylor Creek. The home which Mrs. Ertegun designed
and spent years lovingly furnishing has been featured in numerous books and prestige magazines so it is always a thrill to be a ”legal peeping tom” as event co-chair
Charlotte Moss would say and marvel over
Mrs. Ertegun’s exquisite taste.

Mrs. Ertegun along with her late husband legendary
music impresario Ahmet, the founder of Atlantic Records and nurturer of some of the 20^th century’s greatest
musical talents has been a prominent supporter of The Parrish Art Museum for decades, opening her gardens
and home for numerous fundraising activities as Saturday evening’s event. Helping her in the hosting duties were Landscape Pleasure co-chairs Leslie Rose Close,
Lillian Cohen, Gale Drukier and Charlotte Moss.
