JSE&A Lecture Series (VA Decorative Arts & American Glass)
2011 Virginia Decorative Arts Seminar
Common to most nineteenth-century Shenandoah Valley households, the ubiquitous pie or food safe is the focus of a multi-year research project launched by Jeff Evans and Kurt Russ in August 2010 as The Virginia Safe Project.
Based on a combination of field research to record and photograph Virginia safes and extensive documentary evidence, the project's Shenandoah Valley survey will culminate in a 2013 exhibition at a soon to be announced Virginia museum as well as an illustrated catalogue describing the findings.
