This year’s event is now fully sold out.

For the first time since the beginning of the event in 2000, just one artist will co-host The Summer Party: the world renowned Australian actor, producer and humanitarian Cate Blanchett.

The fundraiser will bring together Serpentine supporters alongside leading figures from art, culture, fashion, architecture, business, and technology, creating a dynamic gathering of luminaries around the 25th Anniversary Serpentine Pavilion by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum.
