Savory September Takes A Stroll Down Starling

Celebrate the museum's 60th anniversary at Savory September: A Stroll Down Starling, a progressive dinner down Martinsville's "museum mile." The event will take place at One Starling and Piedmont Arts on Friday, September 10, 2021.

Piedmont Arts and One Starling were once the private homes of brothers Michael and Nicholas Schottland, founders of Virginia Mirror Company. Today, Piedmont Arts is a world-class art museum and One Starling is a fully-renovated bed and breakfast. Each location will feature live music, food and cocktails.
