Wednesday, April 12
6–8:30 p.m.

This event delves into the doll collections and stories of Ann Coleman, Bradley Justice, Dr. Brigitt Rok-Potamkin, and Dr. Sabrina Thomas—world-renowned collectors who will share the stories behind their personal collections, some of which have been entrusted to The Strong. Guests will mingle with our speakers; enjoy beverages and heavy hors d’oeuvres; learn how and why Ann, Bradley, Dr. Rok-Potamkin, and Dr. Thomas began collecting—and explore the content and importance of their collections and artifacts.
