Special Screening: Elbert Hubbard: An American Original

Join us for a special screening of Elbert Hubbard: An American Original, a PBS documentary that explores the life and legacy of one of the most fascinating figures of the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing America, the film follows Hubbard’s journey from successful soap salesman to influential leader of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. A bold thinker and charismatic writer, Hubbard founded the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, NY, a hub of craftsmanship and creativity that remains vibrant today. This film offers an inspiring look at how one man challenged the rise of mass production by championing the value of artistry, individuality, and hand-crafted work.
