As the CCA looks ahead to Phyllis Lambert’s Centennial in 2027, this year’s Soirée draws on her enduring concern with how we shape and inhabit our cities.
Beginning at 5pm, the Soirée brings together people from different disciplines to reflect on this year’s theme, “The future came, and it forgot we are neighbours.” Inspired by the CCA’s upcoming exhibition on Álvaro Siza’s approach to city-making, the evening asks a quiet but urgent question: how does architecture bring us into proximity or allow distance to settle between us?
Reserve your individual tickets or table that include access to the After Party. Consult our Visibility plan detailing the benefits at each contribution level.
