The Newport Historical Society will be participating in the second annual Museum Store Sunday on November 25, 2018. Deborah O’Connor, silhouette artist, will be at the Museum of Newport History & Shop at 127 Thames Street, Newport, RI from 11am-4pm to make custom silhouettes of you and your loved ones.
A great gift, and a fresh alternative to selfies, each paper silhouette is cut entirely freehand by Deborah O’Connor, not drawn or traced and will cost $30.00. All ages are welcome, and the sitting time required is just five minutes. O’Connor can make a silhouette from a photograph for those who cannot attend in person or for furry friends. The silhouettes will be mounted on white or ivory card stock, individually or in groupings. Traditional oval frames and mattes will also be available to purchase at the shop, during the event.
Reservations for the silhouettes strongly encouraged, which can be made on Eventbrite, eventbrite.com/e/custom- silhouettes-museum-store-sunday-tickets52160810388 or by accessing the reservation page through our website, newporthistory.org.
For more information, visit the Museum of Newport History & Shop at 127 Thames St., which is open daily from 10-5 or call 401-841-8770.
