After a two-year hiatus, we are excited to be returning to an in-person Summer Party and once again welcome guests to celebrate on site with us on the occasion of our 15th Anniversary. Since opening our doors in 2007 as a public museum, The Glass House has remained a site of international significance. It is our mission to maintain this special place by raising funds to preserve our campus and collections.

This year’s event invites guests to explore the grounds with a locally sourced picnic lunch by Elm, while enjoying special performances by award-winning tap dancer and choreographer Ayodele Casel and musical stylings by Paul Sevigny. Picnicking is encouraged throughout the site – tatami mats on the Pavilion, pillow lounges by Italian textile company Dedar, or reclining on the pristine grass of the Glass House lawn. In between performances, join us for rosé by The Pale, lawn games or view our curated auction of over 120 lots of art, design, luxury experiences, and mingle with supporting artists.

The 2022 Summer Party silent auction is hosted by Artsy and will be available for bidding online from Friday, May 27th – Saturday, June 11th @ 4pm EST. Click here to register to bid and be notified when the auction goes live.

This year, more than ever, we are grateful to be able to open our 49-acres for you to enjoy as we commemorate this significant milestone in our history.
