Baskets, Bubbles & Bourbon was a sell out event that featured exciting new additions that honored both weavers and collectors. We were especially proud to recognize collector Max Berry for his outstanding support and dedication to preserving this iconic island craft.
The event had an exclusive showcase of other distinguished basket collectors displaying their treasured pieces. This year, the highly anticipated auction featured a curated selection of exceptional works from today’s most talented artisans—plus select collaborations with other skilled craftspeople with all items selling out!
Attendees also enjoyed a new addition of a bourbon tasting alongside our signature bubbles, craft cocktails, and light bites.
