Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York Annual Meeting September 29th, 2013

I frequently write on this blog about Craftsman artist, arbiter and impresario Gustav Stickley and Arts and Crafts architect Ward Wellington Ward. Here is a chance to experience and continue their legacies in good company - at one event:

Join the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York on Sunday, September 29, 2013 at the Ward-designed Mohegan Manor in Baldwinsville, NY for the Annual Membership Meeting and Luncheon. 

This year’s agenda will include a round table discussion, “Our Legacy: Two Craftsman Homes.”  Nancy and Davey Willans of The Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms; Steven Kern, executive director of the Everson Museum of Art; and Beth Crawford, preservation architect at Crawford and Stearns are scheduled to participate. The presentation will cover plans for the restoration of Gustav Stickley’s Columbus Avenue home in Syracuse, New York and the continuing restoration of his Craftsman Farms complex in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
