Last Weekend of the Season and Sales!
Still time to visit this season. The leaves are at their peak and the air is fresh and crisp. Enjoy fewer crowds and the sales in the gift shop! Everything is 20% off!
New Exhibit this Season
We have an exciting discovery of Morris’ artwork displayed in the Studio. It is a work on paper commissioned by General Electric in 1940 in an innovative ad campaign using well-known contemporary artists to promote the company’s new line of refrigerators. Additionally, the Studio exhibits a view of George & Suzy’s individual paths to artistic expression and how their collection of Cubist masters instructed their art. Audio clips of George’s voice as he recounts his life’s journey are available thanks to a digitized 1968 oral interview from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art. Exercise Your Creativity is held every Sunday from 11 to 1 pm. It will be a chance to relax and create art with no rules and no judgement. Some examples and materials will be supplied.
