Art and Architecture Tour

Join Chelsea Thatcher, Grace Farms Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director for a special art and architecture tour inviting you to take a closer look at the curated indoor and outdoor artworks at Grace Farms by Beatriz Milhazes, Alicja Kwade, Teresita Fernández, Thomas Demand, James Florio, Kazuyo Sejima & Associates, and more.

Meander through the River building, Barns, and North Field, and take in 360–degree views of the surrounding landscapes while exploring the building’s sustainable design, curated interiors, and materials choices. This tour includes a taste of tea in the Plaza while viewing Dancing Trees (2025) by Kazuyo Sejima & Associates, and a moment to sit on outdoor benches and enjoy vast views at ParaPosition (2025) by Alicja Kwade.

The River building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning firm, SANAA, holds LEED Silver certification for Building Design and Construction. A demonstration of our continuing efforts to be as sustainable as possible, in 2024, we were awarded Gold certification for Building Operations and Maintenance, building on our LEED Silver certification in 2019.

The River building was awarded the prestigious 2014/2015 Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP), in addition to the AIA National 2017 Architecture Honor Award and AIA Connecticut 2016 Design Honor Award.

This special tour is hosted in celebration of October4Design and to coincide with Archtober. Extend your architecture experience at Grace Farms and join us for Founder’s Architecture Talk later in the day.
