Since the 1940s the Philip Johnson Glass House has served as a site for inspiration, education and conversation across creative disciplines. Its 47-acre landscape, 14 architectural structures and world-class art collection have drawn members of an international creative community to participate in its rich story. This year, the Glass House introduces a new opportunity to support the site's legacy of inspiration by engaging top influencers across the fields of art, architecture, design, landscape and preservation to explore a narrative of new ideas, on-site with the public.

CONVERSATIONS IN CONTEXT

Join a leading mind in architecture, art, landscape, history, design, or preservation and experience the Glass House campus through an entirely new lens. Listen to a personal narrative, interpretation, or inspiration by a special guest while walking the site with an intimate group of visitors. Continue the dialogue during a reception at the Glass House following the tour.  Conversations in Context take place Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm.
