The Butler Institute of American Art hosts its annual holiday craft show the first weekend in December. A members preview will be held December 3, and public days for the sale are December 4 & 5, 2010.
Proceeds from the event support Butler education programs and the Butler free admission policy. Call 330.743.1107, ext. 112 for information. To accommodate this special event, all permanent and special exhibits will close November 31 and reopen December 14.
The Butler Institute is the first museum of American art. The original structure, dedicated in 1919, is a McKim, Mead and White architectural masterpiece listed on the National Register of Historic places. The museum’s mission is to preserve and collect works of art in all media created by citizens of our country. The Institute’s holdings now exceed 20,000 individual works, and the Butler is known worldwide as “America’s Museum.”
