SUMMARY:ROSS BLECKNER: NEVER THE LESS
DESCRIPTION:Ross Bleckner emerged as a leading artist in New York during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s\, creating paintings that explore change\, loss\, memory\, and the human body. A central figure in the decade’s revival of painting\, he developed a practice that merges psychological\, social\, and political themes within a strong conceptual framework. In 1995\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York presented a mid-career retrospective of his work\, underscoring his importance in contemporary art.\nNEVER THE LESS will highlight a lesser-known part of Bleckner’s process\, offering new insight into one of the most prolific painters of our time. Bleckner begins by making his own paint and testing it on black paper\, where the experimental brushwork often produces striking results. From there\, he creates a series of small canvases that gradually increase in scale\, leading to the large paintings for which he is best known.\nOver decades\, this approach has yielded hundreds—if not thousands—of works. Guild Hall presents a selection of these rarely seen studies alongside major large-scale paintings. While rooted in process\, the smaller works stand powerfully on their own. Together\, they reveal the breadth of Bleckner’s artistic vision\, offering an expansive view of his practice across time—an illustrated timeline through painting.\nThis exhibition is organized by Melanie Crader\, museum director and curator of visual arts\, with support from Brianna Hernández\, museum registrar and Claire Hunter\, museum coordinator and curatorial associate.\nGALLERY HOURS:\nWEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY\, 12-5 PM from August 9-September 6\nTHURSDAY TO SUNDAY\, 12-5 PM from September 10-October 27 \nNEW: Third Thursdays! On the third Thursday of every month from May through September\, galleries will stay open until 7:30 PM\, and will include live music in the garden and exhibition-related programs to follow.\nMUSEUM ADMISSION:\n$12 / $10 for Seniors\, 65+\nFree for Members\, Children\, and Students \nEvent information: original source

SUMMARY:ERIC FREEMAN: THE VOLUME OF COLOR
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition marks the first major institutional solo presentation of Eric Freeman’s work in the East End\, where the artist lived and worked for many years. Freeman’s radiant abstractions transform color into planes of light and pigment that construct space rather than merely depict it. Layers of luminous varnish and saturated tone generate a visual depth that feels structural—at times almost architectural—drawing viewers into fields of color defined by both intensity and calm.\nThe Volume of Color brings together a selection of paintings alongside a small group of furniture pieces designed by Freeman\, revealing a practice shaped by the productive tension between control and emotion\, precision and presence. His work enters into quiet dialogue with the legacies of Josef Albers\, Dan Flavin\, Donald Judd\, Agnes Martin\, Mark Rothko\, and James Turrell. Freeman’s subtly modulated surfaces\, sleek yet unmistakably hand-painted\, balance intellectual rigor with sensory immediacy\, collapsing distinctions between painting\, object\, and environment.\nPresented following the artist’s death in 2021\, the exhibition honors Freeman’s sustained contribution to contemporary abstraction and affirms his lasting connection to the East End’s artistic landscape\, where his work quietly expanded the possibilities of color\, light\, and spatial experience.\nThis exhibition is co-curated by artist Nathan Dilworth and Melanie Crader\, museum director and curator of visual arts with support from Brianna Hernández\, museum registrar and Claire Hunter\, museum coordinator and curatorial associate.\nGALLERY HOURS:\nWEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY\, 12-5 PM from August 9-September 6\nTHURSDAY TO SUNDAY\, 12-5 PM from September 10-October 27 \nNEW: Third Thursdays! On the third Thursday of every month from May through September\, galleries will stay open until 7:30 PM\, and will include live music in the garden and exhibition-related programs to follow.\nMUSEUM ADMISSION:\n$12 / $10 for Seniors\, 65+\nFree for Members\, Children\, and Students\n  \nEvent information: original source

SUMMARY:YES! Presents: Drawing and Seeing Animals with Jackie Hoving
DESCRIPTION:In this 2-hour drawing workshop\, we will explore form\, texture\, and structure using the SOFO Taxidermy collection and a few live animal models. We will practice analyzing form while also taking time to slow down and see the animals in detail. Learning to see and seeing to learn is invaluable to an artist’s journey.\nThis is an all-skill-level experience; bring your love of animals and curiosity about drawing. Supplies will be provided.\nWorkshop Leader: Jackie Hoving is a Drawing Professor at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn\, where she works with first-year students to build skills and find their voice as artists.

SUMMARY:WE MET AT GROSSINGER’S
DESCRIPTION:We Met at Grossinger’s is an immersive journey through the Jewish Catskills—once known as the Borscht Belt—reviving the iconic resort that inspired Dirty Dancing and defined an era of Jewish American life.\nThe screening will be followed by a conversation with producer\, Robert Friedman\, and Jennie Grossinger’s granddaughter Susan Etess\, and will be moderated by Guild Hall’s Chief Public Engagement Officer\, Amy Steinhaus Kirwin.\nThroughout decades of prejudice stifling the integration of Jewish immigrants in America\, the Borscht Belt in the Catskills provided an oasis of belonging\, and Grossinger’s Resort and Hotel was the crown jewel. The real-life inspiration for the setting of the 1987 classic film Dirty Dancing\, Grossinger’s provided both a physical and mental getaway where Jews—and others from marginalized communities—needing a break from NYC could relax.\nThe resort’s growing reputation attracted a wide variety of comedians\, athletes\, and political figures\, including Mel Brooks\, Jerry Seinfeld\, Jackie Robinson and Eleanor Roosevelt. Award-winning filmmaker Paula Eiselt (Aftershock\, 93Queen) resurrects this vanished world with an immersive warmth\, providing a timely reminder of the historic richness of Jewish culture and its immeasurable contributions to American life. \nEvent information: original source
