Join us for this exclusive member-only tour of Frederic Church: Global Artist, the flagship exhibition of this year's bicentennial celebration of Church's birth, led by The Olana Partnership's Associate Curator Maggie Dimock. Featuring works inspired by Church's travels across the Americas, the Middle East, and the North Atlantic, Frederic Church: Global Artist reveals how his encounters with diverse environments shaped a visual language that was at once American, scientific, and cosmopolitan. Maggie Dimock is Associate Curator with The Olana Partnership and oversees exhibition and collections programs and research at Olana State Historic Site in collaboration with the collections team at New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. She holds an MA in History of Decorative Art from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in association with The Smithsonian Associates. This is an exclusive member event.

Olana State Historic Site
In honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of America's greatest landscape artist, Frederic Church, The Olana Partnership is partnering with artist Beth Rundquist to offer plein-air painting workshops at the artist's historic home and landscape. Olana's breathtaking views provide endless inspiration for artists, and this workshop will focus on capturing interpretations of Church's beautiful, designed landscape. Over the course of three days, participants will focus on developing skills of drawing, composition, and painting through keen observation of nature "en plein air" or outdoors. Under Beth's instruction, students will broaden their knowledge of mixing color and applying paint to achieve their personal creative goals, learning to see their subjects with clarity. Participants may work in the medium of their choice and will receive demonstrations to understand composition and the relationships between color, textures, and line. Each day will conclude with a group discussion and opportunity to share experiences. Some painting experience is required for this workshop. All mediums are welcome; materials not included. Snacks and light refreshments will be provided. $575 Members/$675. Register at the artist's website at bethrundquist.com.
