About this Event

Situated on 80 acres in New Canaan, CT, Grace Farms is home to nature trails, restored meadows, and natural habitats. The centerpiece is the River building, named the “coolest building in Connecticut.” The sinuous building curves and bends up the landscape, capped by “The Sanctuary,” where acclaimed artists and musicians like Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Bell inspire new perspectives and possibilities. Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning firm SANAA, the building features five separate glass-enclosed volumes that offer stunning 360-degree views. Please join Toshihiro Oki, Grace Farms’ Architecture Advisor, previously of SAANA, and Chelsea Thatcher, Chief Strategic Creative Officer and Founding Creative Director, for a visually stunning and uplifting presentation that digs into architecture, the arts, and Grace Farms’ Design for Freedom movement—the Foundation’s work to end modern slavery and create more grace and peace in the world.
