Granite State Gallery: New Hampshire Art and Artists Through the Years - with Jane Oneail
New Hampshire has attracted and inspired artists since the Colonial era. What is distinctive about the art made here? This program will consider works by itinerant and folk painters, landscape artists drawn to the state's scenic vistas, and modern artists that adopted bold styles to depict everyday life in the Granite State. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Childe Hassam, and Maxfield Parrish are some of the artists discussed in this program. Sponsored by New Hampshire Humanities. Free and open to the public.
