SUMMARY:Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts: Artist + Philanthropist
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts (1871-1927) incorporated Concord Art in 1922 creating a Board of Directors that included Daniel Chester French as the president. She started to install exhibitions in locations around Concord Center in 1915 to raise money for the war effort\, support her fellow artists\, and bring the art and artists of Boston to Concord. In 1922 she purchased\, and hired Lois Lilley Howe to renovate\, the current historic John Ball House at 37 Lexington Road for exhibitions that included her contemporaries John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt. \nAn admired painter\, her work is in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum\, the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston and the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. She created canvases of beauty\, simplicity and emotion. Vose Gallery in Boston currently carries her work. \nThis is a yearlong Centennial exhibition celebrating the work of Concord Art Founder Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts. The exhibition will be on view January 13\, 2022 to December 18\, 2022. Special thanks to Mark Brock of Brock & Co. for lending work to this exhibition. \n  \nThis program is offered by Concord Art as part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature\, Culture & History\, an annual month-long celebration showcasing events and activities hosted by local partners celebrating the unique places\, objects\, and stories of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.
