Artist and teacher Howard Rose will be leading a series of Plein Air Painting Classes for this summer with the Bridgehampton Museum. Plein Air painting has a lengthy history on the East End of Long Island with artists like William Merritt Chase. These classes are for artists of all abilities from beginners to professionals and will take place at a series of beautiful locations within the Bridgehampton area. Join us to get hands on with some history!
The Town of East Hampton purchased the Duck Creek Farm property a number of years ago and restored the historic John Little Barn. In 2018 the Arts Center at Duck Creek became an official 501(c)(3) non-profit and organized their first full season of programming. Their goals are to inspire the community with free creative programming that supports the arts, celebrates diversity and honors the East End’s cultural legacy.
At the culmination of this program, The Bridgehampton Museum will be hosting an exhibition of works done by students in this class. Each student will be able to submit one piece they worked on during one of the classes to be part of the exhibition which will be on view in the museum this fall.
