My American Landscape: A Student Art Exhibition features artwork by 300+ K–12 students from classrooms across Greene, Columbia, Dutchess, and Erie counties, exploring the visual identity of their home landscapes.

Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, November 14, from 11 AM–2 PM, with live music, food, and activities. Student artists are invited to stop by and collect their participation certificates. This family-friendly event welcomes friends, families, neighbors, and all student supporters.
