Rich Hampton-ite Cheech Marin to Receive Award

Richard Cheech Marin is about to receive an award, not for twice being an allegedly very bad husband, but for spending a lot of his money on Chicano art.

On July 14th, Cheech will be receiving the Arts Patron of the Year Award at upscale art fair ArtHamptons, and he’s curating Thomas Paul Gallery’s booth for the fair.

He’ll also host a “Cheech’s Birthday Bash,” July 13, at the Polo Lounge at Nova’s Ark Project in Bridgehampton.

For those of you that don't know, the Hamptons is located just outside New York City. It's where very rich people live so they can hang out with their own.
