What does this needlework tell you about the seamstress who created it? Why do we care?

Sampler on display at Van Cortlandt House Museum

You’ll find out when you join us on Thursday, November 7, in NSCDNY’s field trip to Vassar College in the lovely Hudson Valley, where we’ll view an outstanding collection of 315 samplers given to the College in the 1920s and 1960s. They originate from Western Europe, Britain, and North America, ranging in dates from 1660 to 191 -- one of the largest private groupings in a major art museum.

We’ll meet in Vassar’s new Heartwood conference center, hear a presentation by founders of the Dutchess County Sampler Initiative, sampler experts Stacy Whittaker and Joanne Lukacher, enjoy a catered lunch, then observe examples of the Vassar collection in the College’s superb Loeb Gallery. You’ll have time to ask questions and view one of the prettiest college campuses in the Northeast.

From paintings and sculpture to fine American and English furniture, to 20th-century design, and contemporary glass and ceramics, there is something to discover for everyone. According to The New York Times the show is a  “galaxy of colliding worlds. Nearly every booth provides a glimpse into some areas of visual culture, from antiquities to post-war Italian art glass."

The day will begin with a private tour of the Show followed by a seated luncheon in the Park Avenue Armory's historic Board of Officer's room. Each luncheon will also feature an engaging discussion with dynamic industry leaders. All ticket sales proceeds directly support East Side House Settlement's life-changing programs.
