When
Saturday, February 1
Benefit: 6–8 PM
Afterparty: 8–11 PM
Who
Our biggest winter benefit yet takes us back to Paris 1968 for a black-and-white ball set in the old-world splendor of Troutbeck’s ballroom. We’ll be honoring philanthropist Robert Wilder and artist Taha Clayton, whose new object edition will be unveiled as the artistic centerpiece of the night’s celebrations alongside exclusive artworks and experiences up for auction. All benefit tickets also include a fabulous dinner and dessert provided by Troutbeck, cocktails and wine, and a limited-edition Wassaic Project x Taha Clayton tote.
Late in the evening, revolution stirs, heels come off, and the after party begins, transforming the night into a hypnotic kaleidoscope of sound, light, and liberation. Admission to the after party is included with every benefit ticket: come dance with us ‘til dawn.
With love,
Eve, Bowie, and Jeff
