Kanye West has been added as a contributor and performer for The 23rd Annual Watermill Center Summer Benefit & Auction in the Hamptons on July 30. The swanky event, which includes dinner, dancing, auctions, performances, and art installations, raises funds for The Watermill Center’s year-round artist residency and education programs.

According to The New York Times, Kanye will be in collaboration with the event's founder and artistic director Robert Wilson who "will design the set and lighting for Mr. West’s performance." This year's event entitled FADA: House of Madness (after Le Corbusier’s building La Maison du Fada) will also host performances and works by Pussy Riot and Anohni.

If you're hoping to witness the installation for yourself, it won't be cheap. Tickets for the event are available now on The Watermill Center website, starting at $600 and capping off at $100,000.
