A Special Silent Auction Exhibition: Framed Vintage Posters from the Collection of Alfred T. Quirk
March 13 - 29
Opening Reception: March 13, 4:30-6:30pm
Al Quirk, a longtime AVA supporter, donated the nineteen framed vintage posters from his extensive collection to be sold for the benefit of our nonprofit visual arts organization. This special exhibition and auction features a selection of beautifully framed classic posters, including Harper's Bazaar and World War I propaganda posters by artists such as Edward Penfield, James Montgomery Flagg, and Charles Livingston Bull. One particularly impressive poster is a color lithograph by Flagg titled Wake up America Day, depicting a woman as a town crier carrying a lantern and American flag.

The Mudroom -- A Quarterly Social Gathering
The Mudroom, an initiative modeled after NPR's The Moth Radio Hour, is designed as a social gathering for adults in the Upper Valley, offering an opportunity to meet new people, connect with friends, and to hear amazing real-life stories that might otherwise go unshared.
The next Mudroom will be on March 13. The evening's theme will be brought to life as five pre-selected individuals share personal accounts of a "Spring Fling."
Refreshments are available for purchase beginning at 6:30pm, and the storytelling begins at 7pm. Please join us for a memorable evening!
Open to the public, adults only please. Refreshments will be available. $5 Admission.
Please click here to download the press release for the March 2014 Mudroom.
