You are invited to attend the March Behind-the-Scenes Networking event hosted by the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. This is a unique opportunity during which GHHN members and friends can come together to enjoy a relaxing afternoon of conversation, discovery, food and drink, and camaraderie!   

Greater Hudson Heritage Network was delighted to award a 2013 Conservation Treatment Grant on behalf of NYSCA to the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art for the conservation of one of the museum’s most important 19th century paintings along with its period frame. The 1885 oil on board by George Inness, Keene Valley, Adirondacks, was conserved by Marie Bruno from Arte Artigianato Restauro, Inc. and its original period frame by Janine Lambers of Lambers, Inc. 

To celebrate this accomplishment, and to shed light on the art of conservation work, The Dorsky Museum is mounting a mini photo documentation exhibition in its Seminar Room Gallery to give viewers a brief overview of the various steps painting conservator Marie Bruno followed to complete this project. Along with this mini-exhibition, the conserved painting will be on exhibit and Marie Bruno will be on hand to discuss the issues she encountered when conserving this painting and the steps she followed. 

Bring a friend to introduce to them to GHHN and include your staff so they may benefit from this enriching experience!

 We hope you can join us for this fantastic event!
