25 Year Retrospective - Goldman Holiday Card
25 Year Retrospective is the first Goldman holiday card experience to showcase the history of our family and its evolution from our debut in 1995. This exhibition highlights the Goldman’s card as the family navigated Y2K, 9/11, the breaking of the Curse of the Bambino, the Great Recession, the Even Years in black and orange, college graduations and an empty nest, and eventually the COVID-19 pandemic.
This exhibit looks back at over two decades to show visitors what we can learn from the past, which can help guide us into the future…if we continue to grow, create and connect with others. The works presented herein together represent:
25 cards
170 faces
10,000 reams of paper
255 hours of work billed to GMG Consulting
7,500 stamps
8 gallons of envelope-closing saliva
25 Year Retrospective is a presentation of the Annual Goldman Holiday Card publication, and is free to the public. This exhibit runs through the month of January 2022 and is made possible through the support of various photographers, who receive appropriate credit in this exhibit; the individual members of the Goldman family, who donated their name, image and likeness (NIL) to make this possible; and social media, which has provided inspiration in recent years.

If you are reading this, I’d like to take this time to thank you all for visiting the 25 Year Retrospective. This also means you are on “the list” and a recipient of our annual holiday card or at least know someone who is a recipient. So in some way you are a part of our extended family. Thank you for being a part of our journey through this show of life.
