An Evening Celebrating Art, Floral Design, and Community Creativity

Experience an evening like no other in one of NYC’s most beautiful gardens.

As part of the national commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, The Glass House will, for the first time, open the 1783 Grainger House and its celebrated peony and iris garden for public tours. The house sits on one of New Canaan’s earliest registered land parcels and was originally known as the Finch House, named for the early New Canaan family who farmed the land.

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.
