The Glass House is proud to announce the return of its most celebrated annual event, the Summer Party, on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Set across the site’s iconic 49-acre landscape, this vibrant gathering is more than a seasonal celebration—”it is a very special occasion to come together and directly support the preservation and continued vitality of one of the most important works of Modernist architecture in the world,” says Executive Director, Kirsten Reoch. This event is made possible through the generous support of Presenting Sponsor Max Mara, and additional support from Design Within Reach, and Land Rover Darien.

Each ticket purchased, each auction bid placed, and each story shared about The Glass House helps advance a powerful mission: to safeguard and interpret modern architecture, landscape, and art, and to inspire new generations through bold, experiential programming. By attending the Summer Party, you are not only celebrating design and creativity—but also contributing to an enduring cultural legacy.

Join Stonington Pride at the The Ditty Bag Market and Cafe for an afternoon of self-care and community care and support. These events are usually freeform, so bring whatever craft you're working on, your fav fidget toy, a puzzle, or whatever brings your joy and peace. Sometimes we have more structured events, like making cards for Trans folks, which you're welcome to join in on, or just puzzle and chat if that's not your vibe. Find out what's up on our Facebook or Instagram at StoningtonPride.

This event is open to all lgbtq+ folk and those who love them (that is to say, all are welcome!)
We will be snagging coffee or tea from our gracious host, and spending time together building community and enjoying good vibes.

The Ditty Bag is wheelchair accessible, LGBTQ+ friendly, and has various seating options available. If you have any further questions, please let us at Stonington Pride or Jason at the Ditty Bag know.

Experience the highlights of the Bruce Museum’s exhibitions during a guided tour that is free with museum admission.

Tours depart from the bottom of the staircase in the Grand Hall.

In an era defined by division and global confrontation, photography's power to transcend boundaries has never been more essential. Welcome to the inaugural exhibition of the BarTur Photo Award at the North Fork Arts Center, showcasing photographers from 23 countries.

Join us on Saturday, June 14 from 3-4pm for an artist talkback featuring Kate Bubacz, Head of Visuals at Rest of World, James Wellford, Senior Photo Editor for Global Issues at National Geographic Magazine, and Amnon Bar-Tur, founder of the BarTur Award, photographer, curator, and entrepreneur. The discussion will be accompanied by digital projections, followed by a wine and charcuterie reception from 4-5:30pm.

This exhibition represents a convergence of diverse perspectives, each contributing to a rich tapestry of human experience. In Greenport's intimate theater setting, we witness how photography's universal language connects disparate worlds and illuminates our shared humanity.

The BarTur Photo Award exists not simply to identify exceptional talent but to nurture it – providing recognition and tangible support to photographers at crucial stages in their artistic development. This exhibition continues that tradition, offering a platform where emerging voices reach new audiences and established photographers present innovative work.
