Join us for a delightful evening of creativity and history at the Berks History Center on April 10th, where you can learn about the fascinating "Gilbert Bunny," the earliest known illustrations of the Easter Bunny in North America, attributed to Johann Conrad Gilbert, a dedicated school teacher from Berks County in the late 1700s. Curator Amber Vroman will lead you through this enchanting exploration of Gilbert's whimsical drawings, which are preserved in esteemed collections like the Winterthur Museum and Colonial Williamsburg. From 5 PM to 8 PM, you will have the opportunity to paint your very own rendition of this historic symbol under Amber's expert guidance, ensuring that both experienced artists and beginners alike can create a beautiful masterpiece. The event promises a relaxed atmosphere filled with good company and light refreshments, making it a perfect occasion to celebrate Easter while connecting with Berks County's rich cultural heritage.
Tickets are $30 for BHC Members and $40 for Non-Members. Don't miss out—secure your spot today for an unforgettable evening of art, history, and fun!
Off-street parking is available in the BHC's parking lot, located at 160 Spring Street, Reading, PA 19601.
