About Eastman Entertains: At the Movies
For two weeks only, a spectacular array of 23 creatively styled table settings, tablescapes, and floral arrangements inspired by popular motion pictures will be displayed throughout the mansion of entrepreneur and philanthropist George Eastman.
Now in its third year, Eastman Entertains pays homage to George Eastman’s own entertaining of friends, family, and business colleagues at his grand East Avenue residence. As Rochester’s leading citizen, Eastman was accustomed to hosting guests, and he ensured that each luncheon, dinner party, and event was a memorable experience for them. This display continues to honor the tradition of entertaining at the mansion that Eastman cherished.
A range of motion pictures inspired the creative displays in this year’s show, including My Fair Lady, A League of Their Own, Steel Magnolias, and The Goonies. Each was designed by Eastman Museum Fundraiser Council members, local garden club members, florists, or specialty retailers.
As a complement to the displays in the mansion, the Dryden Theatre will screen five of the films that provided inspiration for this elegant and elaborate display.
