As a board member of the James Renwick Alliance, I'm coordinating a very special event which will take place this coming Sunday, April 17 at 1:30 pm. It's a free lecture by Ubaldo Vitali, whose spectacular metalwork is currently featured in the Renwick Invitational exhibit.
Vitali is a 4th generation Italian silversmith, master conservator and scholar. He's also extremely passionate and articulate about his art form. He gave a presentation at the Italian embassy last month and wowed everyone. You won't need to be a silversmith or connoisseur to appreciate spending some time with this wonderful man. I hope you'll consider attending, and please pass this message on to anyone you feel might be interested.
