The all-inclusive registration for Paperweight Fest Includes tickets (at a reduced fee) to attend the Wheaton [re] Gather, a celebration of Paul Stankard’s life, work, and 80th birthday. This fundraising event, customarily scheduled for June, has been rescheduled by WheatonArts to align with the Paperweight Fest with the hopes that Fest attendees will join the celebration.
The Fest begins on Wednesday, May 17, with “make-your-own” experiences throughout the day and the Artist and Dealer Fair in the evening. Thursday, May 18, is a busy day with two presentations in the morning, two “Meet the Artist” sessions, collaborative artist demonstrations in the early afternoon, and the Artist and Dealer Fair in the late afternoon. Friday, May 19, brings three presentations, an artist panel discussion, and time again for the Fair. On Saturday, May 20, as a transition to the Wheaton [re] Gather event, there will be collaborative artist demonstrations in the morning. The Artist and Dealers Fair is open to the Public and Gather Attendees from 11 am to 4 pm.
At 1:00 pm on Saturday, the Wheaton [re] Gather will commence celebrating Paul Stankard’s 80th birthday. Paul will demonstrate in the WheatonArts Glass Studio with special guests, including Murano glass artist Lucio Bubacco. Wheaton [re] Gather guests will also have access to special curator-led tours of exhibits, including the Amber Cowan solo exhibit, Anatomy of Adornment. The Wheaton [re] Gather festivities will include food and drink catered by Feast Your Eyes of Philadelphia.
