Exhibitionists Book Club: On Point Tour (Offsite at Shelburne Museum)

The Exhibitionists are back with another series pairing great books with exhibits currently on display at Shelburne Museum. This year, in addition to the free gallery visits and discussions held at the Pierson Library, we’re adding a third creative response event at the Charlotte Library (a new partner on this series). This first event this season is a tour of the Museum’s exhibit On Point, led by Public Programs Educator Kat Redniss. On Point, at the Dana Spencer Textiles Gallery, features schoolgirl artworks from the Garthwaite Family Collection. Expect extraordinary sewing boxes, theorem paintings, silk-on-silk embroideries, and more. We all think this will go swell with Karen Russel’s 2006 collection, St. Lucy’s Home for Girl’s Raised by Wolves, up for discussion at the Pierson Library later this month. For this tour, meet at the side gate of the Shelburne Museum, directly to the right of the entrance.
