Through December 21: A rich history of Cape Cod, the Islands, and the Southcoast region is brought back to life in Taverns to Trades: American Folk Art Signs, highlighting the centuries-old artistry of tavern and trade signs known and loved by the region. These signs reflect the trades and travel destinations of their times and represent an array of woodworking, painting, gilding, and welding techniques from skilled craftspeople and artisans. Inspired by these historic examples, contemporary artists Jeff Dinardo of Cotuit and Pete Vogel from Nutmegger Workshop in Maine continue these traditions through woodworking, sign painting, and antiquing processes.
