5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Free for Rockwell Ambassadors and their guests.
Advance reservations required by 5:00 p.m. on March 7.
Online registration has closed. Rockwell Ambassadors may join us at the door.
Rockwell Ambassador members are invited to celebrate the Museum’s most recent installation, Antigravity, featuring sculptor and fiber artist Crystal Gregory.
Gregory uses woven lace structures as the foundation of her work, paying particular attention to negative space and light. She experiments by pairing materials not often found together in her work such as hand-woven fabrics and molten pewter or lace and concrete. Ambassadors will have the opportunity to visit one-on-one with the artist.
As part of her work at The Rockwell, Crystal Gregory will also be a featured artist at the Amphitheater Hot Shop at Corning Museum of Glass.
