  • Friday, June 18, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm – Back in Bloom Opening Reception

    The Preservation Society of Newport County invites you to the opening reception of Back in Bloom, A Ballroom Floral Fantasy, on Friday, June 18 from 6 – 9 at Rosecliff in Newport. Enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and conversation while taking in the beautiful sights and scents of the floral exhibits and garden vignettes inside Rosecliff. Advanced ticket purchases only. Following state gathering guidelines, ticket quantities are limited and will sell out.

    The Salon and Ballroom of Rosecliff will be transformed into a magical experience to delight the senses with sights, scents and sounds. The Salon will feature the very popular Botanical Arts design classes, where talented designers will base their creations on expressions of a garden at nighttime. The Ballroom will be a stunning garden oasis featuring floral designs interpreting classes with titles like Garden Nymph, Fireflies and Harvest Moon. For the first time, the Horticulture Division of cut flowers and creative garden containers will be brought indoors and arranged around the central garden in the Ballroom. Finally, the Terrace will be transformed into a conservatory garden space and will feature al-fresco exhibition tables created by local event and floral designers.

    This will not be like any other Flower Show presented at Rosecliff. It is a special installation created to meet today’s special circumstances. Unfortunately, we are not able to include the Oceanside Boutiques shopping or food concessions at this year’s show, but the Newport Mansions Store will be open at Rosecliff.   The opening party is $150 for Preservation Society members, $175 for nonmembers.

  • Saturday, August 8, 5 – 8 pm – Opening Reception and Party for The River Project

    The Gustin Gallery, 231 Horseneck Road, Dartmouth, Massachusetts opens at 11 am on August 8 in conjunction with the opening of the sculpture exhibit at the Slocum’s River Reserve.  “The River Project: Sculpture at Slocum’s River Reserve” will feature six large-scale site-specific sculptures by six regional sculptors through March 13, 2010.  “The Slocum’s River Project: Thoughts and Processes” at the Gustin Gallery will feature drawings, sketchbooks and models by the six artists through November 8, 2009. Formerly known as Island View Farm, Slocum’s River Reserve includes mature woodlands, agricultural fields, and pastures that slope down to the western bank of the Slocum’s River. Two miles of trails cross the Reservation and connect to trail easements over an adjoining sixty acres of private land.

    The Reservation protects more than 3,000 feet of frontage along the Slocum’s River. Adjoining private farmland and pastures produce corn, alfalfa, and horticultural nursery stock and are used to graze livestock. The Trustees of Reservations and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) jointly own and manage the property.

    This program is supported in part by a grant from the Dartmouth Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency
