Due to a pre scheduled event the 3 o'clock tour is unavailable. 

In this workshop, led by artist Nada Odeh, participants will learn about the cultures experienced during William Seward’s visit to the Middle East and Syria. There will be a brief presentation followed by fun hands-on art experiences. In addition to creating art, participants will also brainstorm ideas with Nada for a mural that reflects Middle Eastern cultures in Upstate NY. All artistic materials and supplies will be provided for free! This event will take place at the Equal Rights Heritage Center and is free to attend, but reservations are recommended. 

Equal Rights Heritage Center, 9:15 AM, 10:15 AM, 11:15 AM, & 12:15 PM

Join us on Facebook as we go live with Dennis Carr, the Virginia Steele Scott Chief Curator of American Art at The Huntington Library as he leads a virtual tour of the gallery where Thomas Cole’s “Portage Falls on the Genesee” is now on permanent display. This part of a continuous programming partnership between the SHM and The Huntington will trace this history of the painting, explore its Seward connections, and contextualize the ways that the artist offered it as a criticism of industrialization.
