SUMMER PARTY 2026

Celebrating 10 years of Points North

Come to Tenderwild Farm for an evening in the garden. Points North turns 10 this year, and we’re marking it with local artists, new films, good food, and a summer night worth dressing up for. We can’t wait to toast this achievement together.

The event honors longtime supporters Ann & Dick Costello and the directors of To Hold a Mountain — Biljana Tutorov & Petar Glomazić — Weyermann Fellowship alumni whose film earned the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year. Together, they’re perfect bookends for a decade of growth: the founders who believed in us first, and the filmmakers who show what that belief makes possible.
