100 Years of the Spady House

Sponsored By

October 5 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

In 2026, the Spady House celebrates its 100th anniversary, marking a century of history and cultural significance in Delray Beach. To kick off the celebrations and our fundraising efforts, we invite you to the 100 Years of the Spady House Commemoration Opening Reception on October 5, 2024. This special event is part of the Do Good Delray initiative, in collaboration with the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Join us for an evening of art and conversation as we unveil Solomon D. Spady’s portrait, engage in a discussion with renowned artist Serge Strosberg, and explore an exhibition by the talented Ozie Youngblood. Enjoy light bites and beverages while connecting with fellow supporters of the Spady Museum.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 by 2026 to preserve and honor the legacy of the Spady House. Tickets for the event are by donation to the 100 Year Campaign. Donations start at $20. Whether you donate $20 or $200, every amount helps towards our goal.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
