36th Annual Miniature & Dollhouse Show

This exhibition celebrated the creativity of the artists, craftspeople, and collectors of the miniatures, dollhouses. and art that grace our museum galleries. 

On display are handmade dollhouses created this past summer at Rockland Center for the Arts by students Susan Langone, Ethan Canter, Kersten Savage, Cate Ievolella, Molly Ievolella, Lily Rose Weber, and Juliana Pekak. See how "found objects" become art!

Another truly creative artist whose colorful tunnel books, dioramas. and drawings were on exhibit is Shoshana Spencer, a college art student and granddaughter of the Rockland artist Ned Harris.
