THE summer party of the year takes place in New Canaan on Saturday, June 14 from 12:00 - 4:00pm and the weather forecast is looking perfect - partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s.
The Philip Johnson Glass House Summer Party, with the support from Swarovski will feature canapés and a festive picnic lunch - prepared by the brilliant Brian at Elm Restaurant. There will be Taittinger champagne, lawn games, music by DJ ARP and a harpist, a silent auction and the stunning Fujiko Nakaya: Veil exhibition. A new series entitled 'Six Panels' presents the work of Al Taylor in the Glass House Painting Gallery.
This is the only occasion where guests, dressed in summer chic will be given the freedom to wander around the 49 acre estate and picnic where they choose. Experience the campus and party with friends, just as Philip Johnson used to.

The Philip Johnson Glass House, a National Trust Historic Site, offers its 49-acre campus as a catalyst for the preservation and interpretation of modern architecture, landscape, and art; and as a canvas for inspiration and experimentation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson (1906-2005) and David Whitney (1939-2005).
