About the Shop at the Danforth
The Shop at the Danforth in the first floor lobby offers a changing selection of works by more than 60 renowned fine craft artists who live and work in New England. Proceeds of these works support the exhibition and programming mission of the Museum, as well as the artistic endeavors of their creators. The Shop maximizes its small space with items of grand artistic appeal, such as decorative raku and primitively fired clay vessels; functional pottery; art glass vessels, ornaments, picture frames and buttons; and pewter items. Treasures also include contemporary jewelry, textile accessories, fine art photography, prints and etchings, handmade books and journals, art cards, and enchantingly illustrated children’s books. Museum admission is not required to browse the Shop, which is open during Museum hours. If you are looking for a muse, find your inspiration at Shop at the Danforth, and you’ll see why it was nominated for NICHE Magazine’s Best Museum Shop 2009.

Shop Artist Meet & Greet: Judith Greenberg
Saturday, June 18, 2pm – 4pm
A Perennially favorite artist in the Shop at the Danforth, Judith Greenberg is known for her distinctive palette applied to waterscapes and landscapes that bloom exuberantly across the canvas. Her artwork is a frequent juror’s choice in the Museum’s Annual Juried Exhibitions, including this year’s Off the Wall, as well as solo and group shows, and is found in both public and private collections.
Favoring oil based mixed media, Judith draws from experience with many art forms, appreciating “… each medium for what it does best, what is unique to it, such as painting’s spontaneity, monoprinting’s surprise element, etching’s tonal quality, lithography’s repetitive and linear nature, and oil stick for both its transparent and opaque effects. Collage is often an important component.”
Visit the Shop at the Danforth on Saturday, June 18 from 2-4 pm for a meet-and-greet with the artist and enjoy her selection of prints and cards.
