John Papaleo, Montauk Artists Association treasurer and organizer of the event, said she almost crashed into two security guards. "[One guard] grabbed the other one, pulled her out of the way. The chair that she was sitting on wound up underneath the vehicle," he said. An alleged drunk driver crashed through six tents at the annual Montauk Art Show on the Green on June 29, 2025. Evan Reinheimer Organizers say the driver barreled through at least six tents, destroying nearly everything. "It looked like a tornado had ripped through here," Papaleo said. Police say the driver was transported to a nearby hospital for minor injuries. She was charged with DWI and six counts of reckless criminal mischief. Artists lose tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise One of the damaged tents belonged to Jacqueline Clint, owner of Jacqueline Rene Jewelry. "It's a significant loss for me," she said. Clint estimates she lost almost $84,000 worth of jewelry. She says it's not just items that have gone to waste, but all the time she spent creating each one by hand. "The tent, the tables, the displays, all of that is so easy to replace, but I put so much love and care into every single piece of jewelry that I made," she said. Photographer Jim Levison estimates an alleged drunk driver caused about $30,000 in damage when she crashed into his tent at the annual Montauk Art Show on the Green on June 29, 2025.

He says most of his work is displayed in expensive frames or printed on metal. "It was disappointing. A little bit like the wind gets knocked out of you," he said. He even had to cancel his upcoming Fourth of July show. "The show season just started. This was only my third show," Levison said. While he says it's a major setback, he's determined to recover. The Montauk Artists Association is also remaining resilient, saying it still plans on putting on its second part of the art show scheduled for the end of August.
