The Empty House Party

We have some very exciting news: Artists' Gallery has been invited to exhibit artwork in the Gallery Cafe at the Bucks County Designer House and Gardens this year! We'll be located in one of the outbuildings on the property.

The Bucks County Designer House and Gardens is one of the premier show-houses in the Philadelphia region, and it attracts 8,000-10,000 visitors each year. So this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our work. To find out more about the show-house, which is open the entire month of May and hosts several lectures, teas, and special events, follow this link: http://www.buckscountydesignerhouse.org/gallerycafe.html.

We also want to alert you to the 'Empty House Party' on March 1st, which is another exciting event associated with the show-house. This is everyone's opportunity to see the 'before' picture of the property, prior to the designers and landscapers doing their magic. Please click the image above for more info on purchasing tickets to this exciting and fun event - the food by 'Earl's Prime' and the Champagne tasting are sure to be wonderful. This party is also a great value at only $25 per person ($30 at the door).


Tickets for the May event will be available at Artists' Gallery Friday, Saturday and Sunday between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. beginning in March.

Please make plans to join me for some or all of the wonderful events associated with the 34th annual Bucks County Designer House and Gardens. We hope to see you there!
