An Evening Among the Roses
A Celebration of the LGBT Community at The Huntington

Join us in the Rose Garden on Friday, June 6, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. for a garden party celebrating the important contributions to The Huntington of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. From donors and staff to the individuals whose works are preserved in the collections, the LGBT community is well represented at The Huntington, and is well worth celebrating.

Come enjoy music, drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and The Huntington's amazing roses.

The evening's honoree is Don Bachardy, renowned American portrait artist and life partner of author Christopher Isherwood. Isherwood (1904–1986) may be best known for The Berlin Stories, on which the musical Cabaret was based, and for his novel A Single Man. The works of both Isherwood and Bachardy are part of the Library's research holdings.

Tickets for the event are $45 and must be purchased in advance. Fanciful garden party attire is suggested. Everyone is welcome. To purchase tickets or to make a donation to support the event, visit the ticket page.
