The Hiss Dinner

Enjoy sunset cocktails on the bay followed by an elegant black-tie dinner al fresco reflective of Hiss, a man who deeply appreciated—and understood—the fine art of entertaining. College Hall, a magnificent bayfront mansion, was designed for Charles Ringling in 1925 by prominent Milwaukee architect Charles Clas, and was purchased by New College in 1962 for the new campus. This inaugural Hiss Dinner will mark the celebratory debut of Architecture Sarasota and the inaugural Philip Hanson Hiss Award.
