Did you know that the HRM welcomed more than 8,500 students from over 70 schools last year? As we prepare for the coming school year, we’re looking back fondly at this group fromYonkers Montessori Academy who learned about William Villalongo’s piece titled “Winter,” currently on view in #HRMRiversFlow. Bordered by layered silhouettes of flora, the figure in this painting faces the icy river and appears to stand on water. Through flowing nerves and veins, her brain and nervous systems radiate psychic and physical energy while connecting to celestial or deep space. See this work in “Rivers Flow / Artists Connect,” alongside works by 50 artists from the 1820s to the present day who explore and illuminate our profound, symbiotic relationship with significant rivers across the globe. Don’t delay, “Rivers Flow” is closing soon on Sunday, September 1! Learn more at hrm.org/rivers-flow “Rivers Flow / Artists Connect” is co-curated by Laura Vookles, Chair, HRM’s Curatorial Department, and guest curator Jennifer McGregor. Exhibitions are made possible by assistance provided by Westchester County Government “Rivers Flow / Artists Connect” is supported by The City of Yonkers Programs for the exhibition are sponsored, in part, by Shelley and Felice Bergman. Additional support is provided by Ann & Arthur Grey Foundation, Sound Associates, and Yonkers Paddling and Rowing Club Yonkers Public Schools #Museum #Exhibition #Westchester #Yonkers #MuseumEducation #Education Image: Students from Yonkers Montessori learning about William Villalongo (American, b. 1975). “Winter,” 2015.

Hot off the presses! Check out this Chronogram Media article covering our exhibition in the Community and Partnership Gallery, “Neighboring Visions: Westchester Artists Then and Now.” “‘Neighboring Visions’ juxtaposes historical landscape and figurative paintings on loan from the Bronxville Historical Conservancy with contemporary works created by Westchester-based artists. Gathered together, these works testify to the power of place, revealing how artists from across time have translated the rich textures of their locales into vividly rendered paintings, photographs, films, and textiles. The exhibition also considers how artists have traveled abroad and returned to Westchester equipped with new aesthetic strategies and techniques.” Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/eejfTHt7 #HRMNeighboringVisions #Chronogram #Bronxville #UntermyerGardens #HudsonRiverMuseum #Westchester #Yonkers This exhibition is supported by the Bronxville Historical Conservancy. Additional support has been provided by Sarah Lawrence College and the Mellon Foundation Exhibitions are made possible by assistance provided by Westchester County “Neighboring Visions” is curated by Karintha Lowe, HRM’s Mellon Public Humanities Fellow, with curatorial assistance provided by Sarah Lawrence College student-interns Tatiana Mezitis, Rachel Pearson, Frank Spillane, and Natalie Taylor.

It wouldn’t be summertime at the HRM without the help of our summer interns! This year we are fortunate enough to have three excellent interns: Dylan Sandow, our Education Intern, and Randy Miller and Eli Cott, who are both interns in our Development Department. They have each contributed to important projects and brought great ideas and enthusiasm to their work at the Museum. As their internships come to an end within the next few weeks, we thank Dylan, Randy, and Eli for their invaluable work this summer and wish them the best of luck in the coming school year at Sarah Lawrence College, University of Pittsburgh, and Skidmore College! Read more about them at https://lnkd.in/ejP572GJ The HRM’s 2024 summer internships have been made possible through support of the Association of Art Museum Directors and Sarah Lawrence College Office of Career Services, as well as the general support of those who contribute to the Hudson River Museum’s Annual Fund. These opportunities allow college students to gain mentorship and professional experience while making meaningful contributions to our Museum.

In her latest Director’s Letter, HRM Director & CEO Masha Turchinsky reflects on the summer season at the Museum, including the return of our #HRMAmphitheater series and our two new exhibitions “Neighboring Visions: Westchester Artists Then and Now” and “Red Grooms: Drawing The Bookstore.” She writes: ‘“In summer, the song sings itself,’ declared American poet, writer, and physician William Carlos Williams (1883–1963). As the summer heat settles over our region, those words still ring true, and we invite you to beat the heat while enjoying the fantastic programming offered here at the Hudson River Museum. Picture yourself overlooking the Hudson River, feeling the cool breeze as you immerse yourself in our exciting upcoming events.” Read the full letter at https://lnkd.in/eFrQZq-V #DirectorsLetter #HRMNeighboringVisions #HRMRedGrooms #HRMDrawintheBookstore #Amphitheater #Yonkers #Westchester Image: William Thomas Smedley (American, 1858–1920).
