Gingerbread Invitational Opening Reception

Wednesday, December 4, 2024

5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Location: The Rockwell Museum

Open to the public | Free 

Registration Encouraged 

Join us in celebrating the 10th Annual Gingerbread Invitational – a fun, artful competition for baking enthusiasts and community members of all skill levels. In 2024, bakers were asked to design a gingerbread creation using the theme of paradise inspired by two of the Museum’s fall exhibitions: Stephen Towns’ Private Paradise: A Figurative Exploration of Black Rest and Recreation and Nathan Benn’s Peculiar Paradise. 

Come dressed in your favorite festive attire and enjoy warm beverages and tasty treats. Meet the gingerbread artists and cast your vote for the annual Community Choice Award – the winner will be announced by January 2025. 

Plus, find seasonal gingerbread-themed activities for kids throughout the Museum and Art Lab.
