Program Year FY 25.26

2025-2026 promises to be another exciting year, with an eclectic range of programs featuring eminent speakers:  programs on modern French tapestry from the Mobilier national, 75 years of collecting at Winterthur, the renovation of the Frick, and how the French Revolution changed women’s fashion.  One London-based speaker is an internationally recognized tenth-generation jeweler from Jaipur, India.  In November, there will be 40th anniversary luncheon at the Riverside Yacht Club, with the speaker focusing on Georgia O’Keeffe.  Once again, in addition to the eight regularly scheduled GDAS lectures, there will be two additional bonus lectures at The Bruce, courtesy of the Connecticut Ceramics Circle. Meetings at the  Bruce will continue to be on Mondays – when the Museum is closed to the public. Our “Tea” will follow each presentation, and the museum store will be open. 

 

Although costs have risen steadily, we are keeping the membership fee at $200.  However, if possible, members are encouraged to join at the Benefactor level ($500), which includes two guest passes and lunch with a speaker, or as a Contributor ($300), with one guess pass, or as a Friend ($250).  Payments may be made online or by credit card or check.  Guests are charged a $30 fee per lecture; however, a person may attend as a guest on two occasions before they must become a member. 

 

We very much look forward to seeing you in season 2025-2026.  What a better way to jumpstart each month than with fascinating lectures that give us a glimpse into the rich and complex world of decorative arts!  Click here to be taken to the Program Page
