10 Year Celebration featuring Sharon Prince, Chelsea Thatcher, Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA, and Joshua Bell, violinist

Saturday, October 11, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Celebrate a transformative Decade of Grace and Peace at Grace Farms with music commemorating the moment from world-renowned musicians, and a can’t-miss discussion with Grace Farms CEO and Founder Sharon Prince, Chief Strategic Officer and Founding Creative Director Chelsea Thatcher, and Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA in conversation with Toshihiro Oki, Grace Farms Architecture Advisor.

Over the past 10 years, Grace Farms has made a meaningful impact, both locally and worldwide. Imagined and realized as a new kind of public place, Grace Farms welcomes visitors from across the world to encounter world-class performers, artists, and speakers, together fostering a space for contemplation and meaningful dialogue.

Since our opening, we have continued to create new outcomes and deliver measurable impact. We launched the groundbreaking Design for Freedom movement to eliminate forced and child labor from the global building materials supply chain. We also created Grace Farms Tea & Coffee as a public benefit LLC, to share Grace Farms through our ethically and sustainably sourced signature teas and coffees while giving back 100% of profits to the Design for Freedom movement.

This anniversary is more than a milestone—it is a moment of momentum, a time to honor what we’ve built together as a local and global community.
