Millay Exhibit To Remain Open Due To Public Demand - October 24, 2007
Austerlitz, NY. - For the second time this season the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society has extended its popular first exhibition: Invocation To The Muses: Millay Family Portraits And Artifacts. The exhibition, the first created by the Millay Society at Steepletop, the family home in Austerlitz, New York, opened on July 16 and was scheduled to close shortly after Labor Day. It was extended through the 24th of October because of a demand to see it. To date more than 500 people have made the trek up East Hill Road to see the exhibition.
Peter Bergman, Executive Director of the Society, commented “there has been so much interest in this first exhibition and the opportunity to enter an historic building here that we have decided to continue the exhibition through the middle of December.”
Several new items have been added to the exhibition including two pencil sketches of Millay and her wood stove for the portrait painted by her brother-in–law Charles Ellis which has been on display since the opening. These sketches show the metamorphosis of the artist’s vision. Other items have been added as well.
Hours for the exhibition are Monday through Friday from 11AM to 3PM ( a change from the former hours ) and Saturdays by appointment only. Price of admission is $5. The exhibit will be closed on November 22 and 23 for Thanksgiving and will finally close on Wednesday, December 19.
Plans are underway for a new exhibition to open in July, 2008 based on one of the Pulitzer Prize winning poet’s most explosive and dangerous political poems of the 1940s.
For more information or to make a reservation to see the exhibit, call 518-392-EDNA. |
