ARTS DEPARTMENT: Museum shows silver, local talent

Craftsmanship is a word that has great resonance for art museums. It makes reference to the skill and quality an artist brings to his or her work. On Wednesday, Dec. 16, from 5 to 8 p.m., the art museum will open an exhibit that celebrates the highest level of craftsmanship ever attained in this country by artists creating work in the medium of silver. The title is “Martelé: The Silver of Le Beau Monde.”
