Character reenactor Jessa Piaia will present a dramatic portrayal of Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840-1924) in “A Visit with Isabella Stewart Gardner: America’s First Patroness of the Arts.”  The drama is set in 1910, seven years after the opening of Fenway Court which Mrs. Gardner designed and built for her extensive art collection, and willed to the City of Boston upon her demise.  The portrayal runs approximately 45 minutes in length, with an informal and interactive Q&A to follow.

This program is cosponsored by the Sherborn Garden Club and the Sherborn Library and is open to the public.
