The Drawings of William Hart with Curator of History and Material Culture Doug McCombs, Ph.D.

5-8 pm

Look at a collection of drawings by William Hart (1823-1894), donated by a descendent. Hart was a Hudson River School artist who grew up in Albany. Members will learn about Hart and the process of donation, conservation, storage, and selection for exhibition. Many of the drawings have recently returned from undergoing conservation treatment funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. This event is open only to AIHA Members.
