Critter Sale Weekend at the Brandywine River Museum of Art
MEDIA ADVISORY
WHAT:
The Brandywine River Museum of Art will host its annual holiday Critter Sale from November 30 through December 3. Critters are delightful, distinctive ornaments and tabletop decorations that are handmade using natural materials. Each Critter has its own unique personality and expression—no two are exactly the same. From whimsical animals—like cats, dogs, reindeer and bears—to heavenly angels and stars, Critters come in all shapes and sizes. Using their imaginations, the Critter-maker volunteers work with natural materials such as pine cones, acorns, egg shells, flowers and seed pods to give each Critter its own unique personality and expression. Prices range from $5 to $35, with specialty items from $50 to $250. Brandywine volunteers have been creating Critters for more than 40 years, with all proceeds benefitting the Volunteers’ Art Purchase Fund and Art Education & Programming.

Members’ Preview Sale—Thursday, November 30, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
