The Architecture of Our Glory with Justin Shubow at the Belmont Mansion
Sir,

Your VIP seat is reserved. It includes a private lunch with Mr. Shubow before the event, priority seating at the talk, and priority during our Q&A session. Please find the rest of the event details below, we look forward to hosting you.

Justin Shubow has spent his career arguing that our public buildings ought to be beautiful, dignified, and beloved by ordinary citizens. He helped draft the 2020 executive order returning federal design to the classical tradition. At lunch you will have him at one table, in a group small enough that every man gets to speak. This will be a great opportunity to ask him some detailed questions that might not get covered in the Q&A later on in the evening.

Please note the day runs in two parts, at two addresses. Lunch is at 1:00 PM at The Diner on 3rd Avenue, and the evening begins at 5:30 PM at the Belmont Mansion. Your seat at the talk is reserved and held for you, so there is no need to arrive early to claim it.
