Spotlight On... Gothic Art in the Gilded Age: All that Glitters is Gold!!

Friday, March 19, 2010
9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

The Gavet-Vanderbilt-Ringling Collection contains objects fashioned from a wide variety of materials. Among the most intriguing of these works are those created using precious and semi-precious metals and enamel, while elaborate gilded frames and bases were placed on the objects in the 19^th century in order to give the collection a unified look. Join us for a discussion and demonstration by contemporary artists whose expertise in the arts of metalwork and gilding provide a link to their medieval counterparts.

Exploration stations, family friendly exhibition tours and more all complimentary with paid admission Saturdays 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
