In the Open Air: The Art Students League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting and Its Impact will be organized in conjunction with the celebration of the League’s 150th anniversary. In the Open Air will focus on the early decades of the 20th century, when the Art Students League of New York ran a summer school in landscape painting from 1906 to 1922 and again from 1947-1979 in Woodstock, New York. 

In the Open Air: The Art Students League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting and Its Impact will feature approximately fifty paintings drawn mainly from local private collections and institutions. The exhibition is curated by historian of American art Dr. Bruce Weber, who has focused his attention over the course of the past several years on expanding and deepening knowledge of the historic Woodstock art colony.
