Happy Red Rose Day! 🌹🌹

Today, we celebrate the Two Red Roses Foundation, the nonprofit educational organization founded in 2004 by Rudy Ciccarello and named after Two Red Roses Across the Moon, William Morris's beloved poem and the iconic Arts and Crafts design by Ernest Archibald Taylor that inspired the Foundation's name.

Dedicated to preserving, researching, and promoting the Arts and Crafts movement, the Foundation has assembled one of the world's most important collections of American Arts and Crafts art and design. MAACM is honored to serve as the permanent home of this extraordinary collection, where more than 800 objects are on display for the public to enjoy.

Today, we celebrate Edward Henry Potthast (1857–1927), one of America’s most beloved Impressionists. Known for his luminous beach scenes, Potthast transformed ordinary summer outings into vibrant studies of light, color, and atmosphere. ⛱

Beach at Far Rockaway captures the joy and energy of a sunlit day by the sea, its brilliant sky and lively figures demonstrating the spontaneity and optimism that define his finest work.

🎉Happy Birthday to Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959), whose vision transformed American architecture and design. Among Frank Lloyd Wright’s treasures on view at MAACM is this extraordinary skylight from the Arthur Heurtley House in Oak Park, Illinois, designed around 1902. Removed from one of Wright’s most celebrated Prairie homes, these monumental leaded-glass panels rank among the finest and most ambitious skylights he ever created.

🎉Happy Birthday to Susan Frackelton, born on this day in 1848 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

An accomplished artist, educator, inventor, and entrepreneur, Frackelton helped transform American ceramics through her innovative spirit and artistic vision. She designed and painted her own work, taught widely, published instructional manuals, and even developed a gas kiln for home ceramicists. Today we celebrate a pioneering advocate for the decorative arts and one of the remarkable creative voices of the Arts and Crafts era. A rare example of Frackelton ceramics is currently on view in the Fourth Floor Pottery Gallery at the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.
