Welcome to the Arts & Crafts City
Conference to feature Roycroft Renaissance artisans, Erie Lloyd Wright, antique fair
 If you love the art of the Arts & Crafts Movement and wish to know more about the history, philosophy and architecture of that era, you’ll want to join others with the same interests at The Connection ’06 on the lovely Roycroft Campus in East Aurora on November 12th through 15th.
Join fellow lovers of the Arts & Crafts period in the third annual weekend conference that includes architectural and historical tours, authoritative speakers and presentations, dining, treasure appraisals, book signings, and related activities. Previously held on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution, the popular conference is being held this year in East Aurora and is supported by The Foundation at Roycroft, The Roycroft Inn, The Roycroft Campus Corporation, Style 1900 Magazine, and Ashton-Drye Associates.
The weekend includes several notable highlights. Frank Lloyd Wright’s grandson, Eric Lloyd Wright, is Friday evening’s keynote speaker: Dard Hunter III will talk about his grandfather, a Roycroft designer, on Saturday afternoon; and Saturday evening’s dinner is an Art & Crafts gourmet dining experience.
Weekend packages range in price from $450 to $700 based on accommodations and number of guests per room. Guests are invited to join in many of the activities which are individually priced. Details are listed on the conference website at www.TheRoycroftConference.com.
