The Tile Club Camaraderie and American Plein-Air Painting Through November 4, 2018 Explore artwork created by Tile Club artists in this exhibition organized by the Chazen Museum of Art, University of Wisconsin-Madison, in cooperation with The Heckscher Museum of Art.

They also took trips to Long Island and up the Hudson River to sketch and paint “en plein-air.”

Long Island’s Best Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum April 6 - May 19, 2019 Don’t miss the chance to see this exhibit of extraordinary art created by young artists in the Long Island community.

Each year, this exhibit challenges students in grades 9 through 12 to choose a work of art in the Museum as the starting point for their own creative exploration. Hundreds of students submit artwork, with approximately 80 selected for display.

Surface Tension Pictorial Space in 20th Century Art April 21, 2018 - May 12, 2019 At its core, art is about space. Every artist wrestles with the viewer’s understanding and perception of space and surface—regardless of whether they are painting a representational scene, creating an abstract composition, working three-dimensionally, or suggesting depth in a two-dimensional piece. Students explore a broad array of styles and subjects as they learn the many ways artists of the 20th century embraced, challenged, and ultimately redefined the concepts of space and surface in art.

Gift of Lydie and Edward Shufro.

Enjoy this sweeping survey of American Impressionism featuring more than 50 paintings by artists including Childe Hassam, George Inness, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Ernest Lawson, Daniel Garber and Guy Carleton Wiggins!

This exhibition explores the ways in which artists interpreted America’s rural, maritime and urban spaces and portrayed daily life using the Impressionist devices of capturing the moment with brisk brushstrokes, a vibrant palette and atmospheric effects.

This Exhibition is made possible through the Bank of America Art in our Communities® program.
