This evening, the Museum of Arts & Design (formerly the more colloquial American Craft Museum) raises a glass to the … well, to the glass! Enjoy a talk from associate curator Jennifer Scanlan on the item that makes all our elegantly wasted nights possible, the goblet — that loveliest of stemware.
The evening is part of the MAD’s current exhibit “Cheers! A MAD Colleection of Goblets” and will feature a wine tasting to use those chalices for what the do best: getting us drunk.
Talk begins at 6:30 at the Museum of Arts and Design, 40 W 53rd St between Fifth Ave and Sixth Ave.
This event was amazing! I even took notes — in true Dork style — which I will upload tomorrow. Don’t sleep on the MAD “pay-what-you-wish” (the average was $1 according to the cashier) Thursday nights. The museum has made an obvious push to become “hip” and the artists are pretty mind-bending. The goblet exhibit will be permanent in the new space and a definite must see.
