State of Craft Showcase Event

Shelburne Art Center

PO Box 52, 64 Harbor Rd, Shelburne

On Friday, June 18th from 6:00-8:00 pm the Shelburne Art Center will be holding a benefit to honor Aileen Osborn Webb at the Shelburne Vineyard. Shelburne Farms' curator of collections, Julie Eldridge Edwards, will speak of Webb's life, her accomplishments, and her passion to elevate craft into an art form. This philosophy has been a huge part of the Shelburne Art Center's Legacy. Webb in her lifetime was a benefactor to what was then the Shelburne Craft School and her influence can still be seen today. In honor of Aileen Webb's memory, the Shelburne Art Center will be holding the benefit to unveil their "New Legacy" in building a new "green" campus that will nurture contemporary craft. The $50 tickets will include the presentation, wine tasting, heavy hors d'oeuvres, silent auction, an art show and live music by Lowell Thompson. To purchase your tickets call 802-985-3648 or stop in to the Shelburne Art Center Monday-Friday, 10-4 located at 64 Harbor Road, Shelburne.
