Join Dashiell Jordan, head librarian, The Academy of Art at the Newington-Cropsey Foundation, for a lecture on the background and inspirations of the Hudson River School of Painting, the first American school of landscape painting.  Considered one of the first truly American schools of art, Hudson River School painters - the term was initially used disparagingly by European art critics - were inspired by the aesthetics of Romanticism to depict the vistas of North America using themes of discovery, exploration, and settlement.

Mr. Jordan will trace the history of landscape painting and the various artists that loosely comprised the Hudson River School during a pivotal moment of the development of American fine arts. A Q & A will follow the presentation.

Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world.  Mahjongg enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish.  Players with mahjongg sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan. This program is free, ongoing and open to players from all communities.
