The Art of Tablesettings

Oct 30 – Nov 13 days

Rahr-West Art Museum, Manitowoc, WI

This annual favorite invites designers to create unique tablescapes inspired by works of art. This exhibit features table designs created by community designers that are inspired by a work of art. Originally this exhibit featured traditional tablesettings of fine china & crystal, but over the years it has taken on a life of its own. It’s not unusual to find tin plates or coconut shells in place of china & crystal; and paint pails or a picnic blanket used as the table. The possibilities are endless; limited only by the imagination of the designers.
