The McWhorter Foundation is honored to announce the inaugural Patrons of the Arts Dinner, an invitation only evening celebrating the enduring importance of art, cultural heritage, and the preservation of history.

Hosted at the iconic Claridge’s in London, this intimate gathering will bring together philanthropists, museum professionals, historians, collectors, artists, educators, and cultural leaders for an evening of thoughtful conversation and fellowship.

The Patrons of the Arts Dinner has been conceived as more than a formal dinner. It is a celebration of the individuals and institutions dedicated to preserving humanity’s artistic and historical legacy while inspiring future generations through education, stewardship, and philanthropy.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a private reception, a curated dinner, and conversations exploring the role of museums, archives, private collections, historical preservation, and the arts in shaping civilization.

As with all initiatives of the McWhorter Foundation, this gathering reflects our enduring commitment to education, historical preservation, cultural stewardship, and responsible global leadership.

Attendance will be intentionally limited to preserve an intimate and meaningful experience.
