The Art Worker’s Guild and the Arts Crafts and Movement
Bert Gallery Exhibit: June – August 2008
Rhode Island native Sydney Burleigh continues to intrigue us decades later after a successful local art career and his pioneer achievements in the American Arts and Crafts movement. This podcast is based upon the research by Catherine Little Bert for the exhibit that explored Burleigh’s manifestation of the movement in Rhode Island from the construction of his Fleur de Lys Studio on Thomas Street in Providence to his coterie of artists in the Art Workers Guild.
