We love our educators! 🍎

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting a special “Evening for Educators” at the Frick. Teachers, college and university faculty and staff, and other educators from across the city joined us for an after-hours celebration with gallery talks, sketching, live music, and a reception in the Garden Court. The Frick’s Education and Library staff answered questions and shared resources for students and teachers.

Are you an educator? Learn more about guided school and college visits at frick.org/groups, and explore our full range of upcoming programs at frick.org/programs.

Have you ever noticed the exquisite mantelpiece carvings in the Walnut Room on the Frick’s second floor? They were created by Abraham Miller in 1914 for Henry Clay Frick’s walnut-paneled bedroom.

Our new collaboration with Eittem brings Miller’s imaginative carvings and botanical motifs to life with brooches, handbags, and a limited-edition sculpture carved from salvaged eastern black walnut.

Eittem for The Frick Collection brings a contemporary New York atelier into dialogue with historic craftsmanship, united by shared material. The collection responds to the mantelpiece carvings created by Abraham Miller in 1914 for Henry Clay Frick's walnut-paneled bedroom—now known as the Walnut Room, which opened to the public for the first time in 2025 following the mansion’s five-year renovation.

The collection is shaped by Miller’s precise, imaginative carvings and botanical motifs, which were inspired by 17th-century wood carver Grinling Gibbons, whose masterpieces grace Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace, and more.

The collaboration between a Manhattan atelier and the Frick pays tribute to Miller’s artistry, to the Walnut Room, and to the enduring presence of the maker’s hand.

Discover the collection in person at the Frick’s Museum Shop. Learn more at shop.frick.org.
