Farms Afield marking Armory Show Centennial

 Friday, May 31, beginning at 10:15 a.m.

Stickley enthusiasts will recall 1913 as the year The Craftsman Building, his multi-story department store and restaurant in New York City, opened to the public. This significant event was contemporaneous with another momentous New York City event, the opening of The International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known today as The Armory Show. Join us to mark the 100th anniversary of this groundbreaking and controversial show with a tour, scheduled for Friday, May 31 at 10:15 a.m., of the Montclair Art Museum's exciting new exhibition The New Spirit: American Art in the Armory Show, 1913. This exhibition, which attempts to replicate various aspects of the original installation, is the first to spotlight the contributions of American artists. Our exclusive tour, which will be limited to only 25 participants, will be led by exhibition curator Gail Stavitsky.

Space is limited. Please register early. Participants will meet at the Montclair Art Museum at 10:15. Transportation is not provided. The fee includes the tour only. Participants will be provided with a list of nearby destinations for lunch.
