FROM BRUCE WEBER
HI:
I want to thank all the loyal and devoted readers, contributors, helpers and friends of Learning Woodstock Art Colony for helping make the past four years plus of posts on the historic Woodstock art colony such a rich, rewarding and enjoyable experience.
In the coming year the hoped for plan is to post every other month, rather than every month. This hopefully will provide the personal space to plan and begin work on a book on the historic Woodstock art colony, which a number of you have been clamoring for me to do.
This will be a busy year in terms of the historic Woodstock art colony. I’m organizing the exhibitions “Art & Artistry of The Plowshare, 1916-1920” for the new Woodstock Library; “Making Her Mark: 50 Women Artists of the Historic Woodstock Art Colony” for the Historical Society of Woodstock; and “In the Open Air: The Art Students League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting and Its Impact” for the Woodstock School of Art. There will be various accompanying talks and programs, which I will seek to inform you about through this website.
NEXT WEEK ON JANUARY 8TH at 6 P.M I will be delivering the lecture “A Fine Prospect: Charles Edward Townsend’s Catskill Mountains from Barclay Heights” at the Saugerties’s Public Library.
This past spring and summer I had the opportunity to delve deeply into the amazing industrial history of Saugerties in connection with Townsend’s sublime landscape of about 1853, located in the lobby of the Saugerties Village Hall, that spans the distance from Barkley Heights to Woodstock’s Overlook Mountain.
I hope you will come to the talk or watch it on ZOOM, and attend the various exhibitions and programs that will be happening through the coming year and continue to be fans of Learning Woodstock Art Colony.
There is a poster about the lecture with details above.
Best Wishes for a Great Year,
Bruce
