The Frick Collection’s Garden Party made its debut in 2008 and was quickly hailed by The New York Times as one of the most memorable social events of the year. Now annual, this benefit reception offers rare access to the museum’s remarkable Fifth Avenue Garden, where guests gather to enjoy a summer evening of cocktails and jazz. Proceeds (nearly $130,000) from the Garden Party will support the full range of programs at The Frick Collection, including educational and curatorial initiatives and Library activities.
The Fifth Avenue Garden was the focus of the party. Guests were also able to visit a new display in the Cabinet gallery created to mark the museum’s transition in 1935 from private home to public institution, From Mansion to Museum: The Frick Collection Celebrates Seventy-Five Years.
Chairmen were Fiona Benenson, Emily T. Frick, Clare McKeon, Caroline Milbank, Lisa Morse, Alexandra Porter, Barbara Reibel, Deborah Royce, and Jennifer Wright. The evening was underwritten in part by Edmund Hollander Landscape Architects.
