I was thinking of proposing that a certain museum key their "object of the day" to the International Lace Day, ie. make one of our lacemaker paintings, or even a piece of lace to be object of the day. However, I am not convinced that June 21st is sufficiently well accepted that a third party would find it compelling since it seems to emanate from one museum, and that a rather obscure one. In fact, the museum I have in mind is soliciting suggestions for July, although I don't think that there is a particular date in July that I could associate with lacemaking. Can anyone else think of one? Clearly there is a lot of art that could relate to Bastille Day, for instance, so a more obscure day would be better. (An example given for object of the day is a bust of Julius Caesar for March 15-the ides of March.) But, failing to identify a day in July, I could make a general suggestion and perhaps they would take it into account. What day should I propose for a lace theme? Possibly St. Catherine's Day? If so, when is it, and what argument could be made, or documentation provided that would appeal to a museum? Devon
