Description

Fall Champagne Reception at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts, an intimate celebration on the schoolyard lawn Join us for a Fall Champagne Reception, an intimate celebration on the schoolyard lawn celebrating the 10-Year anniversary of scholarship giving and the reopening of the schoolhouse at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts. Come raise a glass with us! Enjoy good company and conversation. This event will mark the 10-Year Anniversary of scholarship giving with the unveiling of a new plaque carved by Jonathan Bechard to commemorate the Named Scholarships. We will have small group tours of the schoolhouse, a champagne toast, and hors d'oeuvres. At the conclusion of the event, copies of the commemorative scholarship booklet will be available for folks to take home with them. The Eliot School offers classes to people of all ages in woodworking, sewing and yarn, fiber arts, book arts, drawing, painting, photography and other crafts and fine arts. Every year, nearly 1,500 people take classes at our historic schoolhouse in Jamaica Plain, in the center of Boston. Through our School Partnership Program, we also send teaching artists and artisans to classrooms throughout the city, reaching over 1,200 children each year.  Our 17th century namesake, John Eliot, endowed the school to serve colonial, Native and African students. Today, we continue our commitment to diversity. 19th century reports applauded us for helping students “satisfy that instinctive desire of human beings to create.” Today, we still pursue the pleasures of craftsmanship and artistic creation. We invite you to join us with hammer, thimble, camera or brush. Attend our events. Encourage your child's school to join our School Partnership Program. Enroll in a class and pursue your human desire to create.
