We have much to be thankful for in Middleburg. From a vibrant and engaged community to our open space and history, there is an abundance of ways to celebrate as 2022 winds down.
The National Sporting Library & Museum, The Byrne Gallery and The Artists in Middleburg have new exhibits on display as well as exciting events. The Middleburg Library’s wonderful free programs for all ages offer fresh approaches to education and fun, while the Middleburg Community Center continues to host a plethora of chances to connect and create with your neighbors and friends.
Our restaurants, wineries, brewery, distillery and retail establishments present even more opportunities to gather. With the gift-giving season quickly approaching, November 26th is Small Business Saturday- now is the time to start planning your own local festivities and enjoying local shopping.
Identity & Restraint: The Art of the Dog Collar
The National Sporting Library’s latest exhibit, Identity & Restraint: Art of the Dog Collar, is an innovative traveling exhibition developed in partnership between the National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) and The American Kennel Club (AKC) Museum of the Dog in New York, NY. This unique show will present an array of dog collars from the NSLM’s collection. The largest publicly held collection of its kind, 187 collars were generously donated in 2015 by Dr. and Mrs. Timothy J. Greenan. Fine art from The AKC Museum of the Dog and American Kennel Club Collections will help develop an understanding of the collar as both art and object and how its design changed in relation to different dog breeds and their uses.
The exhibit runs October 7, 2022- March 26, 2023.
