MEMBERS' HOLIDAY PARTY
Join us for music, refreshments, and piano-side caroling to celebrate the holiday season!
The Members' Holiday Party is held annually on the first Saturday of December for members and volunteers of the Athenaeum to celebrate the festivities of the Season. The Athenaeum is transformed with décor that will leave you feeling bright and gay, including a traditional European Christmas Village display. Enjoy eggnog, sweets, and grandiose cookie displays by Girard Gourmet. Sing along to carols with pianist Sammy Pistritto, and listen to live jazz music. The Members' Holiday Party is complimentary for members at the Contributing level and above, $15 for members, and $20 for guests of members.
PATRON DINNER
The Patron Dinner is held annually in June in honor of our members at the Patron level and above. The celebration includes a cocktail hour and dinner, where the signature Patron Gift and Order of the Olive members are presented. In 1994, the tradition of a Patron Gift was begun. Each year, an artist who has exhibited at the Athenaeum is commissioned to create a limited-edition artwork, often reflecting the character of the organization. The first reproduction becomes part of the Athenaeum's permanent collection. The others are given as gifts to donors who support the Athenaeum at the Patron level or higher. For more information on Patron membership, please visit our membership section.
