FIRST: Enjoy a wine and cheese reception to stimulate your artsy taste buds before or after a private tour for up to 6 people of the Eileen Gray spring exhibit by Bard's chief curator Marianne Lamonica. Gray's works from the 1920's are some of the most sought after pieces in the marketplace. Gray (1878-1976), an Irish architect-designer who worked primarily in France, was a pioneer in modern design and architecture and one of the few women to practice professionally in those fields before World War II.

This exhibition is the first in the United States to examine the total oeuvre of Eileen Gray. In addition to affirming her accomplishments as an architect and a designer, it sheds light on the full sweep of Gray's career, including her work as a painter and photographer. The exhibition is largely based on new research, including plans, drawings, sketchbooks, photographs, and letters, that reveal how Gray designed her most famous house, E 1027, and other architectural projects. The exhibition features never-before-seen furniture and lacquer works, as well as paintings, photography, rugs, and archival materials from her best-known projects.

NEXT: Enjoy delicious regional Italian cuisine and a wine list of Italy's best-known producers with your $250 gift card toward dinner at Becco on New York's famed restaurant row in NYC's theatre district.

THEN ON TO: A Broadway production with two orchestra tickets to a Broadway show of your choice on a date of your choice.

FINALLY: Overnight lodging will allow you to relax the whole evening in a beautiful Superior King room with breakfast the next morning at the New York Athletic Club.

ROUND-TRIP LIMOUSINE also included.
