Member Art Show

The gallery presents the Yellow Studio Member Art Show, on view through Aug. 9. Curated by Tina Villaveces, this annual exhibition brings together 29 of Yellow Studio's Artist Members working across painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and more. The exhibition is a portrait of a sustained creative community, rooted in the towns and landscapes of Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Southwestern Connecticut.

THE DOMESTIC LIVES OF THE FOUNDING FAMILIES

Through Oct. 4 at the Katonah Museum of Art. This exhibition explores the private worlds of America’s founders through furniture, fine art, decorative, and personal objects from their homes—revealing how domestic spaces shaped political life and diplomacy. With special focus on New York figures such as John Jay and Alexander Hamilton among others, Diplomacy at Home: The Domestic Lives of the Founding Families also foregrounds the essential roles of women including Martha Washington and Sarah Jay, who were instrumental to the development of the political and diplomatic culture of the newly formed United States. The exhibition highlights the value of material culture in defining the Founding Families’ central role as the architects who framed the foundation for our collective national history and explores the meaning of “home” across lives defined by public service.
