If you haven't already visited the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, you should book a tour. Following is information on the sublime Summer Party, which is an absolute must! Taking place on Saturday, June 11th between 12 - 4pm, the event highlights the stunning design of the Glass House and partygoers dress up in 'summer chic' - a fitting tribute to the late Philip Johnson.
The silent auction, powered by Paddle 8 features rare artwork, photography, designer items and lifestyle experiences. It's certainly worth bidding on, and you get to meet many of the artists.
