Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica
11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica. This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief: the loss of their two young children. Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets. The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home. The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica
11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica. This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief: the loss of their two young children. Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets. The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home. The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica
11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica. This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief: the loss of their two young children. Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets. The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home. The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

Fern Hunting among These Picturesque Mountains: Frederic Edwin Church in Jamaica
11am-4pm
In 1865, Frederic Church, an avid traveler with a special passion for the tropics, journeyed to Jamaica. This was unlike his previous expeditions, as he and his wife, Isabel, were escaping from intense personal grief: the loss of their two young children. Throwing himself into the exploration of documentation of the island, the renowned artist produced a variety of works ranging from delicate pen sketches of palm trees to oil sketches of the atmospheric Blue Mountains and brilliant sunsets. The importance of the trip is reflected in the number of studies Church chose to mount, frame, and display at Olana, which became a major attraction for visitors to his home. The best of the related sketches and paintings from Jamaica comprise the exhibit.

City That Drinks the Mountain Sky
Arm of the Sea Theater Company

$12/adults, $6/children
The epic story of NYC’s water supply told in the elemental beauty of Puppet Theater. Heralded as one of the wonders of the world, New York City’s ingenious system of aqueducts and reservoirs provides clear mountain water from the Catskills to nine million downstate residents. This show takes us into the very heart of the Catskill watershed. We see how forests are like kidneys, filtering the water as it moves towards streams and reservoirs. We meet workers who built the aqueduct and reservoir system. And we come to understand how this giant water project brought profound changes to so many villages and towns in the Hudson Valley. Best for ages 8 through adult.

Blood Wedding

A bride elopes with her lover on the day of her wedding. The groom follows the two lovers and a knife fight takes place. Carlos Saura’s film is an adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s play Blood Wedding. As with all Saura’s Flamenco films, it is overtly theatrical: beginning with the company arriving at the studio and putting on costumes and makeup. The dance is then performed in a bare-windowed space with a minimum of props. Starring the great Flamenco dancers Antonio Gades and Laura del Sol.
