Inspired by Philip Johnson’s legendary 1967 Country Happening, The Glass House Summer Party is a chic Saturday afternoon gathering for individuals across art, architecture, design, fashion, philanthropy, and more! Guests explore the iconic grounds while enjoying curated food and drink, live performance, and a silent auction of contemporary art and distinctive experiences. Proceeds support the preservation and programming of this Modernist landmark. 

Presented by Knoll, the 2026 Summer Party celebrates a shared legacy of modern design, innovation, and enduring craftsmanship.
