The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust invites you to join us for the second annual Edward Gorey Summer Cocktail Party on July 31st, 2024, at the Strand Book Store’s historic Rare Book Room..
This year’s event promises to be a delightful evening filled with custom-made Gorey-themed cocktails, light vegetarian fare, and the chance to mingle with fellow Gorey enthusiasts. Representatives of the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust will be present to share exciting updates about the organization and discuss plans for the upcoming centenary of Mr. Gorey’s birth in 2025.
.
A highlight of the evening will be a mixed in-person and online auction featuring books, ephemera, and original art by Edward Gorey. All tickets to the event include access to the auction. For those unable to attend in person, online-only auction tickets are available for $30. Stay tuned for more information on the auction when it is officially announced on July 15th.
.
We are also proud to welcome special guest Carol Verburg, whose new book, THE THEATRICAL ADVENTURES OF EDWARD GOREY: RARE DRAWINGS, SCRIPTS, AND STORIES, will be published by Chronicle Books this fall. Ms. Verburg will deliver a brief talk about her book and her collaborations with Mr. Gorey during the 1990s.
.
Your attendance and support are invaluable. We can’t wait to welcome back those of you who joined us last year and to meet new friends attending for the first time. Special $100 early bird tickets are now available through June 30th, after which tickets will be $175.
.
We look forward to seeing the Gorey community come together once again to celebrate his legacy and the ongoing efforts of the Trust’s team. Gorey-inspired cocktail attire is highly encouraged!
