The Hermitage Artist Retreat recently announced the dates for the organization's two signature fundraising events in 2020-2021. The highly popular Artful Lobster will be Saturday, November 14, 11am to 2pm, at the Hermitage's historic campus on Manasota Key. This event raises valuable funds for the artist residency program. The Hermitage Greenfield Prize Dinner, which will honor the 2021 prize recipient, is scheduled for Sunday, April 11, 6-8:30pm, at Michael's On East in Sarasota. Details for both events, including ticket prices, sponsorship opportunities and entertainment, will be announced later in the summer. (In the event of any changes due to COVID-19, further details will be announced.) For more information about the Hermitage, visit HermitageArtistRetreat.org.
