Morven in May Celebration Offers Art, Crafts, and Plants

Morven in May, the annual juried exhibition and sale of contemporary, American-made crafts by 35 artisans from around the country, will take place May 1-3 on the Great Lawn at Morven Museum at 55 Stockton Street.

All of the art is displayed in gallery-style booths. In addition, plants including fragrant heirloom flowers, new varieties of annuals and perennials, flowering shrubs, and select items propagated from Morven’s own gardens will be for sale.

The weekend kicks off on the Great Lawn with a Friday evening preview party before opening to the public for two days of art and garden treasure hunting. All proceeds help fund the museum’s exhibitions, historic gardens, and educational programs. The preview plant sale for Friends of Morven is May 1, 1-3:30 p.m. The Preview Garden Party is 6:30-9:30 p.m. For tickets to that event, which start at $125, call (609) 924-8144 ext. 113.

The public hours for the craft show and plant sale are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $10 at the door ($8 for Friends of Morven) to the craft show. No tickets are necessary for the plant sale. For more information, visit www.morven.org.
