As the Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut, prepares to open its newly renovated Sculpture Garden it’s also preparing for its new partnership with Artisanal Bakery & Café.
Visitors to Ross Artisanal Bakery and Cafe beginning Oct.14 were able to support the museum’s Sculpture Garden fundraising campaign through their in-store purchases. Ten percent of the proceeds from the bakery’s new Aldrich Linzer Square and The Aldrich Gift Box was donated to the museum’s Sculpture Garden campaign. The Aldrich Gift Box will also be available for purchase in the Museum’s Shop. In addition, members of the museum will now receive 10% off purchases made in the bakery.
The Museum looks forward reopening with a free Community Day on Sunday, Nov. 17 from noon to 5 p.m. Ross will host a Pop-Up at The Aldrich during the Community Day, where visitors will be able to purchase a selection of items from the bakery to enjoy as they explore the new Sculpture Garden.“Part of the vision for the new Sculpture Garden at The Aldrich was the hope that we could create a welcoming and accessible environment for our visitors to experience contemporary art outdoors. Nothing could make the experience more welcoming than the opportunity to enjoy some of Ridgefield’s best food and drink from our friends at Ross,” said Cybele Maylone, the museum’s executive director.
“We are honored and thrilled to partner with The Aldrich in support of their growth and expansion of the Sculpture Garden. The aspirations of both organizations align beautifully as we share a commitment of embracing the arts and delivering on the promise of excellence and hospitality. The opportunity to partner with like minds to build a brighter, happier and more engaged community in which we live and thrive is extremely exciting for all of us at Ross,” said Ian Lewis, COO and operating partner, Ross Artisanal Bakery & Cafe.
Generous support for Community Day is provided by J.McLaughlin; Sandra Juliano, Realtor; and Ross Artisanal Bakery and Cafe.
