This year, The Glass House built upon the inaugural success of Dine with Design by adding a new component. On the evening of Saturday, June 9, The Food Film Festival^TM came to the property. Currently celebrating its sixth year in NYC and third year in Chicago, the Food Film Festival^TM is the only fête where guests sample what is featured on the screen, offering an unparalleled, multi-sensory experience. George Motz, television personality and Festival co-founder, hosted the evening’s screenings.

In June 2011, the Philip Johnson Glass House, inaugurated Dine with Design - a benefit picnic featuring artisans and chefs from around the country. A literal feast for the eyes and palate, the event not only introduced the iconic site to a new audience, but also offered Glass House enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the property in a new way. Learn more and see photos from last year's event.

The Philip Johnson Glass House, a National Trust Historic Site, offers its 49-acre campus as a catalyst for the preservation and interpretation of modern architecture, landscape, and art; and as a canvas for inspiration and experimentation honoring the legacy of Philip Johnson (1906-2005) and David Whitney (1939-2005).
