Victory Club was excited to host a luncheon last Saturday at Florian, the newest restaurant of friend Shelly Fireman.

Since the 1960s, Shelly has collected works by many of the masters of modern art, including works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Peter Max. While Shelly's dedication to hospitality and art is on display at all of his establishments, Florian uniquely displays Shelly's own works which he sculpts in the Pietrosanta region of Italy. These large bronze statues depict individuals performing household tasks, which further emphasize his passion for hospitality.

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!
