Temporarily Closed – Opening May 11, 2024
Join Francie and John Downing Senior Curator of American Art Kory Rogers alongside special guests Jamie Reason and Joseph Jannsen, decoy makers and contributing writers for Decoy Magazine. They will present on the extraordinary life and art of master carver Charles Sumner Bunn (1865-1952), a member of the Shinnecock-Montauk tribes, who carved a group of shorebird decoys in Shelburne’s collection that until recently were incorrectly attributed to another, possibly fictitious, carver.
This free webinar marks the opening of the online exhibition In Plain Sight: Rediscovering Charles Sumner Bunn’s Decoys Presentation to be followed by live audience Q&A.
