PENINSULA VOLUNTEERS' EXHIBITS "THE COLLECTIONS OF PENINSULA VOLUNTEERS AND FRIENDS" AT LITTLE HOUSE ACTIVITY CENTER

Menlo Park, CA (February 7, 2014) Peninsula Volunteers, their friends, and art connoisseurs gathered at Little House – the Roslyn G. Morris Activity Center, for an intimate evening featuring both fine and decorative art from member's collections.  The event was chaired by Ann Griffiths and Mary Alice Bowie of Peninsula Volunteers. Paula Kirkeby, owner of Smith Andersen Editions, curated this extraordinary collection.

An amazing assortment of rarely seen items from privately held collections were featured at the reception on Feb 7th.  Art work and collectibles displayed at the exhibit ranged from “Divan Japonais” poster by Toulouse Lautrec to French count hand embroidered linens and Japanese sterling open salt shakers.
