The International Museum of Dinnerware Design’s Fourth Biennial Invitational and Juried exhibition, Breakfast, is all about celebrating the first meal of the day.  In addition to work by contemporary artists, historic works from the IMoDD permanent collection will be seamlessly woven throughout the exhibition.  Due to the pandemic, the exhibition will open virtually on April 10th and will be available via Facebook and our website that day.  At that time, visitors will be welcome to view the exhibition catalogue, photographs, and videos of the exhibition on line. Artist prizes will be announced at the virtual opening.  Guests can plan to view the exhibition in person when it is safe to do so following common sense and state guidelines and procedures.  Museum hours are weekends noon-4 p.m.  Special tours are welcome by contacting the Museum on Main Street or emailing the exhibition curator at  director@dinnerwaremuseum.org. An in-person closing reception is scheduled for Saturday, August 21st 2-4 p.m.

Invited Artists: Posey Bacopoulos, Paul Eshelman, Léopold Foulem, Ursula Hargens, Janel Jacobson, David MacDonald, Kate Maury, Dganit Moreno, Jeff Oestreich, S.C. Rolf, Linda Sikora, Malcolm Mobutu Smith, Will Swanson, Debbie Thompson, Ann Tubbs

Kellogg's Rice Krispies individual serving size box of cereal, dated 1963Will it still “snap crackle pop?”
Mark your calendars.  You won’t want to miss the once-in-a-lifetime virtual Breakfast “Happening” the day of the opening of the exhibition, Saturday April 10th. A “vintage” individual serving size box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, dated 1963, with paper lining so that it can be used as a cereal bowl, will be OPENED! The empty box/bowl will be saved as an artifact for the IMoDD collection, but milk will be poured onto the cereal in a different cereal bowl.  What will be the results?  When there are results there will be a video link here.
