On Saturday, May 7, from 10 am to 4 pm, Silvermine Arts Center will host its popular Artisan’s Trunk Show and Art Materials + Equipment Tag Sale at the Gallery and School of Art. This special sale day is a tax-free event at Silvermine.

All proceeds from the tag sale go toward the School of Art Scholarship Fund for children.

At the trunk show, discover one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, artisan ceramics, elegant vases, sculptural baskets and numerous other unique offerings perfect for Mother’s Day, birthdays or spring graduates.

While the sales are in progress, shoppers can visit the Silvermine Galleries, where the Faculty Exhibition will be up and running, showing the artistic achievements of Silvermine’s distinguished faculty.
