This past Sunday, Victory Club hosted a luncheon at Mana Contemporary. Mana is one of the largest contemporary art organizations in the United States. They host a wide variety of artists, such as Shephard Fairey, collections curated by Saul Ostrow, as well as performance art pieces. They also have a large amount of studio space for artists.

Victory Club members and guests were given a private tour of 2 of the museum's exhibitions:  Arnulf Rainer, presented by the Ayn Foundation and Intimacy in Discourse: Reasonable Sized Paintings, curated by Phong Bui. The art tour was followed by lunch. We thank Mana Contemporary for hosting!

Welcome to the online home of Victory Club, a supper club that brings together friends of friends over the culinary and visual arts. 

Victory Club developed out of a post-college need, when it became harder to engage with the arts and meet people through that engagement.

Join.

The name, "Folded Victory," was inspired by an Elizabeth Bishop poem and alludes to a passion for finding beauty in everyday things. Bishop talks about "folded sunsets": sunsets that look like they're folding as they sink into the West but also flat images of the most regular thing. Folded victories are excellent things, captured and shared. Victory Club brings people together to celebrate those victories. We hope you'll get in the mix!
