"Touch of Gold", 1974, undated
Scope and Contents
The Women's Committee in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Art Sales and Rental Gallery in 1974 sponsored "A Touch of Gold" exhibition and sale. The sales through the Gallery featured 170 original pieces of jewelry from goldsmiths with a Delaware Valley connection. The success of the event was the catalyst that launched the annual Philadelphia Craft Show. The records include an agreement with Philadelphia goldsmith Olaf Skoogfors to design a pendant called "A Touch of Gold" to commemorate the show in which the first fifty sponsors to the dinner would receive as a gift. The Women's Committee hosted the black tie dinner and preview.
