Webinar on Frederic Church

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederic Church. Next week, as part of its bicentennial observance, The Olana Partnership is hosting Where to Start: Frederic Church's Early Career in Wider Contexts, a webinar with Joseph Mizhakiiyaasige Zordan, Ph.D. candidate in History of Art and Architecture at Harvard University and contributor to the forthcoming publication Frederic Church: Global Artist. 

The presentation will reexamine the role of local, national, and familial mentors in establishing Church's artistic career, particularly through his painting Hooker and Company, which is in the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum on Hartford, Connecticut. The webinar will be moderated by Erin Monroe, Krieble Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture at the Wadsworth.

The webinar takes place on Thursday, April 9, at 6:00 p.m. For more information and to register, click here.
