Long Island Cultural Asset Luncheons

A curated event series for collectors, cultural leaders, families, investors, operators, and advisors interested in cultural assets, alternative assets, ownership, succession, and long-term wealth durability.

Hosted by Mitt Chen, the luncheon brings together people who think beyond ordinary market commentary — across art, heritage assets, real estate, luxury, family capital, public companies, and local cultural institutions.

This is not a networking lunch built around business cards. It is a focused conversation around assets, families, places, and institutions that survive across generations.

Request an Invitation

These are small, curated gatherings. Invitations are extended personally.

Upcoming themes will be shared with confirmed guests.

What We Discuss

Each luncheon focuses on one cultural asset theme and the economic questions behind it.

  

Topics may include:

  • Heritage estates, museums, galleries, and historic properties

  • Family businesses, succession, and ownership transfer

  • Art, collectibles, luxury, and cultural scarcity

  • Real estate, place-based value, and local identity

  • Public companies with cultural moats

  • Alternative assets and long-term capital durability

The goal is simple: better conversations with people who care about ownership, culture, capital, and time.

Who Should Attend

The luncheon is designed for collectors, cultural leaders, family stewards, patrons, investors, operators, advisors, attorneys, CPAs, founders, and institution builders.

The first events will focus on Long Island, beginning with Suffolk County, with future gatherings expanding across cultural venues, private dining rooms, galleries, museums, and historic spaces.

Space will be limited by design.
