Visit & Vote: Gingerbread Invitational
The 2021 Gingerbread Invitational opens Saturday, November 20!
The Rockwell is excited to present the Seventh Annual Gingerbread Invitational — a fun, artful gingerbread competition for baking enthusiasts and community members of all skill levels. This year, gingerbread artists responded to the theme Environments Examined. Creations are inspired by the natural, built and social environments of our unique Finger Lakes region.
Pick up your ballot at the admission desk when you visit The Rockwell! The Community Choice Award winner will be chosen by Museum visitors throughout the exhibition. Plus, explore the galleries with a holiday Art Hunt and visit KIDS ROCKWELL Art Lab for special gingerbread-themed activities.
The Gingerbread Invitational is made possible with support from Ellen and John O’Hare.
