On July 24, 2010, The Watermill Center once again brought together the worlds of theater, art, fashion, design and society for the 17th Annual Watermill Summer Benefit: Paradiso. Benefit artists and residents from over 20 different countries created many installations and performances that each interpreted this year's theme and brought the guests closer to paradise. Beginning at 6pm, the evening included cocktails, a silent auction, performances, art installations, dinner, dancing and a live auction hosted by auctioneer Simon de Pury in collaboration with Sharon Stone. This year’s silent and live auction included over 70 lots from emerging and established artists.
