Discover Hidden Treasures with Redeemer's Culture Club

Published on September 27, 2009 by Christy Tennant

This arts "season" (ministry year 2009-10) the Culture Club will be focusing on the "little known arts treasures" of New York City. We've all heard of the Metropolitan Museum and Broadway, but what about the Frick Collection? Atlantic Theater Company? New Chamber Ballet? This will be the year to discover many important arts institutions our city holds.

Our first outing together will be Friday, October 2, from 6PM-8PM. We'll visit the , which "houses a treasure trove of materials relating to the founding of our country, the history of art in America, and the history of New York and its people." Redeemer artist Gene Schmidt is a preparator at N-YHS, and will be our host for an evening tour of their current exhibition, , a collection of more than 100 landscape paintings from the Hudson River School movement of the 19th century, "the first school of truly American art to garner worldwide recognition and fame."

The museum's Friday evening hours are "pay what you wish," so don't let tight finances prevent you from joining us! (As a patron of the arts, we suggest you contribute as much as you're able - regular admission is only $12.) For that reason, we will pay at the door for our tickets, but space in our group is limited so registration is required. Register and more information .
