#7. INSIDER'S EXPERIENCE IN BOSTON

4/12/2024

 
craft meets culture in this curated weekend exploring Boston’s creative circles 

Artist luncheon organized by Mobilia Gallery
Meet several local and out-of-state artists whose approach to their craft makes them unique. View short demos by selected artists while dining on a special artistic lunch fabricated, especially for our Renwick guests. Participate in craft bingo and take home a piece of art created for the occasion.


Back of house tour of Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts department of fashion, textiles, and jewelry
Established in 1930, the Boston Museum of FIne Art department of fashion, textiles, and jewelry is one of the oldest in the country devoted to caring for a global collection spanning two millennia of works of art in these media. Jennifer Swope will offer a one and a half hour tour of the department library and offices as well as textile storage. 

Evening visit and dinner at the studios of Peter and Richie Vanderwarker
Peter Vanderwarker is an accomplished architectural photographer. His wife Richie has a distinctive collection of Native American jewelry and crafts, collected over 50 years. Spend an evening learning about their work and enjoying an excellent dinner and conversation with others who share these interests.
