As we step into 2025, we’re excited to build on the momentum of our recent achievements. In April 2024, we marked a significant milestone with the grand re-opening of the newly restored 1949 Brick House, which faithfully returned the building and its collection to their original design and décor. We also had the highest rate of visitation to site to date and welcomed the largest number of guests to our Summer Party. We are excited to continue sharing the site’s Modernist legacy, alongside the lives of architect Philip Johnson and curator David Whitney, with our expanding community.

Looking ahead, The Glass House is committed to continuing and growing its mission in 2025 and beyond. We will present inspiring architects, artists, and thought leaders, promote creative expression, and strengthen connections with our vibrant community of new and returning visitors. We invite you to join us in shaping this exciting future by becoming a member or participating in one of our new patron societies. Your partnership provides meaningful support of our ongoing efforts. Thank you!

Executive Director
