Modern Friends

The Glass House Modern Friends donor program is a way to support the Glass House, experience the site, and meet with other modern enthusiasts who share the same passion for modern design.  

Last year in response to this new opportunity, more than 350 donors became Modern Friends generating over $80,000 in support of Glass House modern preservation.  Every donation of $100 underwrites the preservation of our 14 buildings and structures, artwork, and 47-acre landscape.  Additionally, the contributions of our donor community support all of our mission-based programs to foster new ideas and cultivate talent as seen in our Conversations program, Architectural Retreats, Oral History Projects, and Commissions program. 

Modern Friends tours are available daily, except Tuesdays, at 3pm.  They offer behind-the-scenes access to the Glass House, Painting Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, Studio / Library, and Da Monsta as well as photography privileges. 

Along with your ticket purchase, you will also receive the Glass House Visitor Guide, a 20% shop discount, donor recognition, and a membership to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  $50 of each ticket purchase is a tax-deductible donation to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in support of the Glass House site. 

To all of those who have become our Modern Friends in support of Glass House preservation – thank you.  Your support is greatly appreciated and inspires everyone who comes to visit the Glass House to join our efforts at modern preservation.
