Dear Munson Community,

When envisioning a landscape, I picture sweeping vistas, dramatic skies, and the magnificence of nature. Living in Central New York, we are fortunate to be surrounded by stunning natural views from the Mohawk River valley to bucolic farms to the arresting Adirondack Mountains. This summer, Munson celebrates the natural environment through an exciting combination of art and activities.

As I write today, we are initiating the Genesee Street landscape transformation that was highlighted in the last Bulletin. It is exciting to see the fencing being installed, knowing that in a few months the Munson landscape will be beautifully refurbished, creating a welcoming and accessible entrance and streetscape that brings to fruition a vision generated nearly five years ago.

While the lawn is dug up out front, we can all enjoy dramatic landscapes inside the Museum of Art. The summer exhibition American Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society will fill the galleries with resplendent panoramas from as close as the Erie Canal to across 19th-century America. Complementing our major summer show are Views of New York: Wilderness and Waters and Stilled Waters | Still Here: Trenton Falls. These two exhibitions, drawn from our permanent collection and highlighted by generous loans from private owners, explore depictions of New York’s famous scenery, past and present, including the beloved Trenton Falls.

Landscapes will also influence our summer activities in Community Arts, with classes like Painting En Plein Air and Studio Landscape Painting that will help adult students follow in the footsteps of Hudson River School artists. In our free kids classes, generously supported by the MetLife Foundation, young artists will enjoy special tours of the Museum galleries to help inspire their artistic creations.

You can explore a more metaphysical landscape and broaden your horizons by trying something new—whether it be a Saturday morning Art and Yoga class, swinging to the lively jazz of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band during the May 18 Concert in the Court, or signing up for a summer art class.

Munson offers more than 700 events each year. Whatever programs or events you participate in this spring and summer, please take a moment to appreciate Munson's impact on our region’s cultural landscape. Our founding family had an expansive vision for Utica—one that included natural beauty through the park system they created and cultural experiences through the founding of Munson in 1919. They knew that the arts are central to a thriving community. At Munson, we carry that belief forward each day.

GROWING MEMBERSHIP

People often ask me about Munson’s various membership levels. For many, being a member at the Individual or Household level makes sense. It provides benefits for one person or a family. Why would anyone spend more? There are a number of really good reasons.

If you visit museums when you travel, live for part of the year in another state, or enjoy other local museums like Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers’ Museum, it’s a great idea to take advantage of a membership at the Contributor level and above. You can still do all the things you love at Munson, and you’ll be part of the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Association. With your card in hand, you can explore more than 1,300 institutions throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the Cayman Islands. Benefits range from free or member-priced

In addition to a longer list of membership benefits, the most compelling reason to join or renew at a higher level is what you make possible for everyone. Our founders envisioned a place where the community could experience art, music, and the joys of creativity. Munson remains steadfast to this legacy, and members and donors help us bring it to life.

With support from local corporations, grantors, and private donors, Munson offers free family programs and summer art classes for kids and teens. Exhibitions and adult programs are free or affordable. Renovations are underway that will make our spaces easier for all visitors to navigate. As a member, you help people of all ages share in the exciting things happening at Munson. Your additional support will earn you extra perks while benefiting others.

Munson’s June First Friday event will be free for members, and you are invited to bring a non-member guest for free. And – your first drink is on us!

This is our way of saying thanks for your support of our many programs, and encouraging your friends to join, as well. Munson seeks 500 additional members during our summer membership campaign. We think a great way to start is to say thank you to those who are already part of the family.

CURATOR'S CORNER

THE QUIET IMAGES OF NEW YORK'S WILDERNESS

Three deer freeze on a narrow strip of land between the edge of a dense Adirondack forest and the mirror surface of South Lake. Hobart V. Roberts wrote that the striking photograph was only the second he made using a technique he developed to capture wildlife at night.

Utica-born Roberts produced Munson’s print in the early 1900s. (Later in life, he gave different dates to different sources.) By 1935, the artist had published the image and others like it in photography, lifestyle, and wilderness magazines.

He attracted inquisitive animals like raccoons with bait, but shy deer required more effort. Roberts and a friend paddled their rowboat through the wilderness on moonless nights. When deer appeared, he simultaneously triggered his camera and ignited flash powder, startling and illuminating his subjects.

In this work, Roberts achieves a sense of peace that is quite different from the photograph’s explosive creation. Other works in Views of New York: Wilderness and Waters share this contrast between image and experience. The intertwined trees in Asher Brown Durand’s painting Woodland Path (1846) seem unbothered by a dirt track that signals humanity’s presence. Yet, the axes of “progress” threatened Durand’s beloved forest, and he and his mentor, Thomas Cole, worried

often and in public about shrinking wild spaces. The works in Views of New York represent individual perspectives on New York’s landscape, but I’ve found more than just geography unites them. Organizing the exhibition has helped me see shared ideas where I used to imagine stark contrast.

– Elizabeth Welch, Ph.D., Assistant Curator of American Art

AMERICAN LANDSCAPES from the New-York Historical Society

The awe-inspiring wonder of America’s natural beauty will be on glorious display at Munson in this year’s summer exhibition, American Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society, opening June 14 on the Museum of Art’s second floor.

JUNE 14–SEPT. 22

With over 53 works of art by 31 artists, American Landscapes will be the one of the largest displays of American nature paintings ever shown in Utica. The show will feature works by Thomas Cole, Asher Brown Durand, Frederick Church, Robert Duncanson, and Albert Bierstadt along with many others. This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the exchanges of influence among a group of artists whose social and professional networks in New York City and at their favored sketching grounds established an artistic vision that we now recognize as the Hudson River School.

Above: Albert Bierstadt (1830–1902), Autumn Woods, Oneida County, State of New York, ca. 1886. Oil on linen. New-York Historical Society, Gift of Mrs. Albert Bierstadt, 1910.11

Asher B. Durand (1796–1886), Group of Trees, 1855–1857. Oil on canvas. New-York Historical Society, The Louis Durr Fund, 1887.8

As the young nation developed early in the 1800s, American artists along the Atlantic coast from Virginia to Maine became attracted to the idea of adventure and exploration of the largely unknown countryside, spurred on by the many authors writing of the poetic beauty of the American wilderness. In New York, artists were drawn to the varied scenery along the banks of the Hudson River by the works of one of the earliest of the group to move north along the Hudson, Thomas Cole, who later painted Munson’s great series, The Voyage of Life.

Cole was soon followed by Asher Brown Durand, represented in the Museum’s collection by his extraordinarily detailed studies of trees and other natural forms. Both were grounded in the exploration of the natural world as a resource for spiritual renewal and as an expression of cultural and national identity. Soon, a steady following developed as other artists sought the same success that Cole and Durand enjoyed. The Hudson River and the varied scenery along its banks, along with the Catskill, Adirondack, and White Mountains and beyond, provided the subjects for many of their landscape paintings.

Drawn from the renowned collections of the New-York Historical Society, American Landscapes will carry the visitor to real and imagined hideaways. With

works of all sizes, from small preparatory sketches painted along a quiet trail or atop a rocky vista to huge landscapes nearly 8-feet wide that often traveled as their own one-painting exhibitions in the late 1800s, American Landscapes will dazzle audiences with the majesty of the American wilderness. As a special feature, portraits of the Hudson River School “founders” Cole and Durand and images of their studios will further enrich the exhibition.

Visitors to Munson this summer will also be treated to three other exhibitions of work from the Museum of Art’s collections on the first floor, creating an unprecedented look at over 200 years of landscape painting in America from 1800 to the present. Thomas Cole and American Landscape Painting; Views of New York: Wilderness and Waters; and Stilled Waters | Still Here: Trenton Falls all explore the American landscape from a national, regional, and local perspective. These installations, combined with American Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society, will inspire and enrich our own experiences of the natural world today.

Along with a Museum full of extraordinary masterpieces will be a full array of programming, including learning activities for young people and opportunities to hear further perspectives on these

exhibitions from a diverse range of voices located adjacent to the gallery.

Admission to American Landscapes will be free to Museum members and $15 for non-members. Usual Museum discounts will be available for students, NARM and NY State museum members, SNAP, active duty military, and refugees. Admission is always free for everyone to the Museum’s collection gallery installations.

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

SARAH SMITH

In her short four years of working at Pratt Munson, co-Interim Dean Sarah Smith has served as a shining inspiration to her students as well as a standout faculty member to her colleagues. She began teaching at Pratt Munson in 2019 as an assistant professor of photography and was promoted in 2023 to associate professor of photography while concurrently serving as acting chair of Academic Affairs. With prowess in both teaching and administration, Smith was an obvious choice to serve as co-Interim Dean alongside Ken Marchione.

After earning an MFA and MA in photography from the University of Iowa in 2013, Smith began her teaching career at Murray State University in Kentucky and has held teaching positions at institutions including St. Lawrence University, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Chicago State University, Harold Washington College, as well as with the New York State Summer School of the Arts program.

Pratt Munson’s Photography program averages around 15 students per cohort, and as one of the only photography professors, Smith works closely with all of them. She says she loves teaching and that her position here enables her to help the students dive deep to find their creative voices without the added pressure of preparing them for graduation.

Sarah Smith, co-Interim Dean and Associate Professor of Photography, Pratt Munson

Sarah Smith, Stocks never go up or down in a straight line. They bounce around, and that's exactly what we saw in the market today

While making a significant impact in both of her roles at Pratt Munson, Smith still finds time to further her own photography career. Much of Smith’s work, photography and experimental films, focuses on her family—where her family has been and what she calls the “weirdness of family structures,” including built families.

Smith has shown her work throughout the eastern U.S., including notable solo exhibitions Respite at Whitespec in Atlanta, Ga., and Where the Great Lakes Leap to the Sea at The ShedSpace in Brooklyn, N.Y. This year, she has served as a panelist at the Society for Photographic Education’s National Conference in St. Louis, Mo.
