SUMMARY:Season Opener | Teresita Fernández
DESCRIPTION:Internationally acclaimed artist Teresita Fernández joins us in the Sanctuary for a conversation with Grace Farms Founding Creative Director Chelsea Thatcher to discuss her studio practice\, research\, materials\, and site-specific work\, Double Glass River (2015)\, which has become an integral part of Grace Farms.\n\nCreated in relationship with the River building and nature in 2015 during the period of the building’s construction\, Double Glass River\, resembles an undulating galaxy of 10\,000 mirrored glass cubes and expands horizontally across the curved wall at the end of the Commons. Depending on where the viewer stands\, the shining reflection constantly alters\, and engages the viewer in many places along the grounds. The work urges the audience to reflect upon themselves and their relationship to a changing landscape.\n\nFernández and Thatcher’s conversation will be preceded by a short solo viola recital by award-winning Jamaican-American violist Jordan Bak to open the season’s music program\, with a focus on the contemplative and active dynamics of peace.

SUMMARY:Blossom Hill Annual Farm to Fork Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Blossom Hill is pleased to announce that its upcoming annual Farm to Fork Dinner will feature Samantha Bee\, Canadian-American humanitarian\, comedian\, writer\, producer\, actress\, and television host. The event will take place at the Country Club of Darien on Friday\, September 19\, 2026 from 6 – 9 PM. The Foundation’s mission is to implement community-based education programs that sustain children affected by war. \nSamantha Bee doesn’t just talk about refugee crises from a distance. She’s traveled to camps in Jordan. She’s documented the impossible complexity of resettlement. Her show purchased and renovated an entire house so families could visit detained loved ones with dignity. Shiva Sarram\, Founder and Executive Director of Blossom Hill\, will moderate the discussion. \nThe dinner will also feature Blossom Hill’s Fellows implementing innovative programs including the Sama Community Center and Montessori school in Azraq\, Jordan\, as well as psychosocial support work in the West Bank. \n“Samantha Bee has done what so few are willing to do—she has gone to the camps\, sat with families\, and turned her platform into action. That’s exactly what we do at Blossom Hill. As conflict reshapes the Middle East and our programs adapt to meet emerging needs\, this evening is a chance for our community to show up for the children who need us most\,” said Sarram. \nSeats are limited. To purchase your ticket\, please visit: https://blossomhill-foundation.org/rsvp/ \nPlease join the Blossom Hill Family for this special evening! \n___________________________________________________________________ \nBlossom Hill is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in New Canaan\, CT. Founded in 2009\, it has been on the forefront of the refugee crisis\, working tirelessly to create positive change and uplift communities. To date\, Blossom Hill has reached over 150\,000 children and youth across 25 countries through multiple initiatives across three major pillars: education\, life skills\, and job training. This model provides a multi-layered impact on both our programs directors’ growth and development and positive change in refugee communities.
