A Garden Luncheon at the Florence Griswold Museum
Enjoy a day brimming with art, beauty, & nature —while helping us care for this historic landscape!
We’ll kick off the day with prosecco and a garden-fresh lunch, then hear from American art scholar Elliot Bostwick Davis — a former curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, who will invite us into the world of one of America’s most iconic artists. The day includes opportunities to tour Miss Florence’s gardens in bloom, bid on fabulous raffle items for your home and garden, take in our stunning exhibition, Revelations: A Decade of Collecting, 2016-2026, and be inspired by Blooms with a View—our annual installment of floral arrangements inspired by works on view.
Pre-purchased bundles of raffle tickets (10 tickets for $40) and copies of the featured book ($50) are available. If you would like to purchase, please contact DeeDee Filiatreault: DeeDee@FloGris.org or 860.434.5542 x103.
