The Amherst Historical Society & Museum will be hosting Art on the Lawn, an art and craft show, on Saturday, October 5, 11:00am to 3pm. Artists will be set up on the lawn of the museum selling their creations.
The event honors the legacy of the Historical Society’s founder, Mabel Loomis Todd, who was herself an artist, specializing in painting, especially scenes of nature. Welcoming local artists to present their works at the Strong House speaks to the mission of the Historical Society to connect the people with the culture and history of the Town of Amherst. The artisans joining us this year represent a wide variety of media including painters, book artists, fiber artists, paper artists, potters and jewelry makers.
The event will take place 11:00 – 3:00 on the front lawn of the Amherst Historical Society’s Strong House located at 67 Amity Street in Amherst. Please see the website for any weather-related updates to the schedule. The museum will also be open during this time for viewing of the current exhibit “Cambodians in Amherst: The History of the Khmer Community,” on view Saturdays until November 2nd.
