ART & SOUL: Hamptons, a Summer Festival of Arts & Culture Returns for it’s 3rd Year, in Partnership with the SOUTHAMPTON AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM and the SOUTHAMPTON ARTS CENTER
Southampton, New York Jun 11, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – Join us July 19 & 20, 2024 at ART & SOUL: Hamptons for a weekend filled with art and cultural experiences, celebrating influential and emerging BIPOC artists living in the Hamptons community and beyond. The series of experimental events will encourage people to visit Southampton to engage and connect with artists of color, as well as support art and cultural organizations who are passionate about diversity in the arts. Curated experiences include an art walk, culinary experience, film screening, live music and entertainment, a cocktail party, and more.
ART & SOUL: Hamptons will kick off on July 19th at the Southampton Arts Center — a hub that is helping to strengthen arts and culture for the entire community. Featured artists include Art Sims and Reynoir Lewis. A culinary tasting will be presented by the Black Culinary Expo featuring Chef Sandy Pierre, Chef Osei Blackett, and Chef Ronica Copes. New England Sweetwater will host a sipping experience and educate guests about their spirits and cocktails, handcrafted in New Hampshire at their family-owned distillery. To enhance the Hamptons experience, there will be champagne toasts, live music, beauty and lifestyle activations, and a wellness lounge. The evening will end with ‘Art After Dark’, after party hosted in the sculpture garden.
On July 20th, Jeremy Dennis will host a private guided museum tour of Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio where guests will learn about the history, culture, and contributions by the Native American Shinnecock Tribe. Following the art tour, visitors are encouraged to participate in the ‘Art Walk’ happening in Southampton – the art hub of the Hamptons, where they can view artwork by the artists in residency.
The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.
The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.
The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.
The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024. Guests will enjoy an interactive digital experience, live music and entertainment, soul food and Caribbean bites, and Caribbean-inspired cocktails sponsored by New England Sweetwater. A screening of ‘CROWN’, a short film that celebrates Black hair, will be presented by co-writer/co-director Karisma Jay.

THE OFFSITE CO. LAUNCHES DEDICATED INTERNAL AUDIOVISUAL DIVISION TO DELIVER TRANSPARENT AV SERVICES FOR CORPORATE EVENTS
The corporate retreat company expands its service offering with an in-house audiovisual team, providing clients with transparent pricing and modernized production technology.
New York, NY, United States, 10th Jun 2026, Grand Newswire – NEW YORK, NY — June 9, 2026 — The Offsite Co., a full-service company retreat and corporate offsite planning agency, today announced the launch of its dedicated internal Audiovisual (AV) division. The new division is designed to provide clients with greater cost transparency and operational control over AV services as part of their event planning process.
By building an in-house team of production engineers and logistics specialists, The Offsite Co. now provides its clients with a transparent, flat-rate alternative to third-party venue AV arrangements, with a focus on consistent production quality and cost predictability.
Corporate event planners have increasingly cited AV costs as a significant and sometimes unpredictable component of venue contracts. Many venues include provisions requiring the use of on-site AV vendors, which can limit flexibility for clients seeking to manage technology budgets and equipment standards. The Offsite Co. developed its internal AV division in response to client demand for greater control over these arrangements.
“Managing AV logistics has consistently been one of the more complex and cost-sensitive aspects of corporate event planning,” said Mat MacDonell, Founder and CEO of The Offsite Co. “Clients frequently encounter situations where venue contracts include mandatory AV provisions that limit their options. Our internal AV division was established to offer clients a direct, transparent alternative — one where they have full visibility into costs, equipment standards, and technical support from the outset. We believe that level of clarity and accountability should be standard in the industry, and we are committed to delivering it.”
The Offsite Co.’s new AV division seamlessly integrates into the company’s existing retreat design and venue sourcing workflow. Key benefits include:
- Contract Negotiation & Leverage: The Offsite Co. handles venue contract pushback directly, stripping out mandatory vendor clauses during the negotiation phase.
- Transparent, Flat-Rate Pricing: Clients receive upfront cost clarity without the surprise line-item fees, service charges, or room-turn penalties common with hotel vendors.
- Modernized Equipment & Technical Support: High-definition video, robust audio arrays, and dedicated technical directors tailored for distributed teams running hybrid meetings or high-stakes leadership alignment summits.
The internal AV division is fully operational and currently being deployed across all upcoming 2026 team retreats, sales meetings, and executive offsites managed by the company.
Further information about The Offsite Co. and its services is available at www.theoffsiteco.com.
About The Offsite Co. The Offsite Co. designs, sources, plans, and manages company retreats, offsites, sales meetings, and team summits for distributed companies. The company focuses on destination strategy, transparent pricing, and budget planning, supporting leadership and People teams in evaluating options for corporate travel and team gatherings.

Cross-Border Logistics Company AMZ Shipper Adjusts Service Structure to Meet Refined Demands of Amazon Sellers
Cross-border logistics provider AMZ Shipper has completed a service structure adjustment in June 2026, focusing on three key areas: LCL shipping timelines, customer service responsiveness, and pricing transparency for FBA pre-processing services. The changes respond to new Amazon inbound rules and cost pressures faced by sellers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. Feedback about unclear shipping milestones, delayed customs document notifications, and unexpected final bills has driven the updates. AMZ Shipper now offers a five-working-day LCL loading guarantee, 4-hour response time across US and China shifts, and itemized written quotes. With warehouses in Shenzhen, Yiwu, Guangzhou, and Qingdao, the company serves FBA and other platforms like TikTok Shop and Temu.
Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, 10th Jun 2026 — Shenzhen-based cross-border logistics service provider AMZ Shipper has recently completed an internal overhaul of its operational processes and customer response systems. According to information provided by the company to the media, the adjustments focus on three areas: LCL (less-than-container load) transit times, customer service response mechanisms, and pricing transparency. The move aims to help Amazon sellers adapt to changes in inbound rules and cost control pressures in 2026.
AMZ Shipper is a freight forwarding company specializing in cross-border e-commerce first-mile transportation, primarily serving sellers using Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon). Company spokesperson Chrissy confirmed that over the past six months, feedback from small and medium-sized sellers has shown a significant rise in concerns regarding “unclear shipping milestones,” “delayed notification of customs clearance supplementary documents,” and “final bills exceeding initial quotes.” Based on this feedback, the company has made targeted revisions to its internal processes.
In terms of LCL services, AMZ Shipper has standardized operating procedures at its three operations centers in Shenzhen, Yiwu, and Guangzhou. For shipments to two major routes — the U.S. West (Los Angeles/Long Beach) and the U.S. East (New York/New Jersey) — the company has set an internal standard operating timeline: from the time goods arrive at the designated warehouse to the completion of LCL loading onto a vessel, the process is to be completed within five working days. If delays occur due to internal reasons, customers will receive proactive notifications.
Regarding customer communication, AMZ Shipper has adjusted its customer service shift schedule to achieve two-shift coverage between China and the United States. The company stated that customer inquiries can now receive an effective response within four hours at any time of day. Additionally, each contracted customer is assigned a dedicated account manager responsible for tracking all of that customer’s shipments and providing regular status summaries.
For FBA pre-processing services, AMZ Shipper has launched a standardized price list. Since January 2026, Amazon has stopped providing pre-processing services such as labeling, packaging, and kit assembly for FBA products, leaving these tasks to be completed by sellers themselves or outsourced to third parties. AMZ Shipper now offers itemized pricing for pre-processing services based on SKU type and operational complexity, and provides written quotes before shipment that include ocean freight, customs clearance fees, destination drayage charges, and optional service fees. The company stated that, unless the customer proactively changes the type of goods or shipping terms, no unannounced charges will appear on the final bill.
According to public information, AMZ Shipper currently operates four consolidation warehouses in China — in Shenzhen, Yiwu, Guangzhou, and Qingdao — covering the major manufacturing regions of South China, East China, and North China. The company maintains direct booking relationships with multiple ocean carriers and air cargo carriers, handling over 1,500 40HQ containers of FBA-related ocean freight annually, along with 15 to 30 tons of air freight per month. As a member of the World Cargo Alliance (WCA), AMZ Shipper leverages its global agency network to offer destination customs clearance, last-mile delivery, and overseas warehouse storage services.
In addition, AMZ Shipper’s services are not limited to FBA first-mile transportation. For sellers also using platforms such as TikTok Shop, Temu, and Walmart, the company can deliver goods directly to non-Amazon warehouses.
This service structure adjustment does not involve any overall price changes nor announces any new market expansion plans. AMZ Shipper stated that it will continue to refine its operational details based on customer feedback, though no public timeline has been set.

AMZ Shipper is a cross-border logistics service provider specializing in freight forwarding and FBA prep services for Amazon sellers.
