Rosenbacchanal 2022 Silent Auction

Thank you for supporting The Rosenbach! Funds raised by the Rosenbacchanal support our public programs, Behind the Bookcase tours, fascinating conversations with authors, virtual and in-person courses, our annual Bloomsday festival, and hundreds of hours of free, virtual programming like Sundays with Jane Eyre.

The Rosenbacchanal unites lovers of great literature and raises crucial funding to support our collection, programs, and work. This year, our guests will come together for Rosenbacchanal 2022: The Jewel of Delancey Place: A Celebration of Neighbors and Friends. Discover performances, readings, and surprises around every corner of The Rosenbach’s historic house, museum, and garden as we celebrate the jewel of Delancey Place and honor Frederick R. Haas and The Wyncote Foundation.

All proceeds help The Rosenbach continue our mission to engage with and celebrate the art of the written word using our collection of rare books, manuscripts, and historical objects.

The Rosenbach is one of the most vibrant intellectual and cultural centers of Philadelphia—a gathering place for public programming and discourse based on a world-class humanities collection. Our programs and exhibitions reach 10,000 event attendees, researchers, students, and literary lovers across Greater Philadelphia, the country, and the world every year. The Rosenbach’s annual fundraiser—The Rosenbacchanal—has grown to be a robust and sophisticated celebration of this Philadelphia treasure.
