Painting Church's Landscapes

Today is the first day of Creating Landscapes Within the Landscapes, the three-day plein air festival at the Olana State Historic Site, produced in partnership with the Columbia County Council on the Arts. If you go to Olana today, tomorrow, or on Saturday, you may well come upon artists painting the landscapes created and beloved by Frederick Church.

This year, thirty artists are participating in the event. On Saturday, at the end of the afternoon, the festival concludes with a "meet the artists" reception and exhibition of the work produced during the previous three days, followed by a live auction of the paintings. The reception, exhibition, and auction take place from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Wagon House Education Center at Olana.
