Well, what a weekend that was. We danced, we laughed, and most of all, we celebrated with the most amazing group of Hub Culture community members.

Activity began on Friday, where guests enjoyed welcome drinks at the stunning Aman hotel. Recently renovated and opened with some of the most impressive frescos in the city! Saturday morning began with brisk strolls around the beautiful city and group visits to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the 20th century's best collections of assembled art. As the sun set, guests donned their best carinval looks and joined for an evening curated by artist Daniel Lismore at Palazzo Benzon, built in the 1600s and located on the Grand Canal.

The primary reason for the gala was to help raise money for our chosen charity Cool Earth. There's still time to help raise funds, so please take a look and bid today on these fantastic donations: charitystars.com/garden
