Community Calendar

The annual tour takes place over two weekends, October 17–18 and October 24–25, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, during one of the most beautiful times of the year in the Hudson Valley.
This year's tour features 19 participating artists at 11 studio locations (with several artists sharing studio or gallery spaces). Visitors will discover an exciting variety of artwork spanning a wide range of media and styles, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, assemblage, woodworking, fiber arts, and pottery. There's truly something to inspire every art lover

Archtober Newburgh is an annual, month long, all-free celebration of one of the Hudson Valley's most remarkable built environments, and the people keeping it alive.

As the second-largest historic district in New York State, the birthplace of the historic preservation movement, and the home of the first publicly owned historic site in the United States, George Washington's Headquarters, Newburgh is the ideal place to celebrate architectural heritage, connect people to resources, champion local initiatives, and imagine what's next for the city. Each October, Archtober Newburgh does exactly that with 50+ free events, including walks, talks, tours, workshops, and gatherings for both locals and visitors.

Light and Transient Causes
In the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence, this exhibition takes its name from a line in the document that suggests that some grievances may prove too fleeting to justify revolution—and considers asymmetries of perception of what is deemed light enough to ignore, transient enough to postpone. Curated by Marisa Espe.

Special tour with a Rockwell model, Ed Locke

These tours do not take place at the Museum. Tour groups will meet on Main Street. Transportation to Main Street from the Museum is not provided.

Take a guided walking tour of downtown Stockbridge and discover how the town and its inhabitants both inspired Norman Rockwell and appeared in some of his most iconic works of art. Explore the history of this 1734 village–including its Mohican origins.

Stops will include Norman Rockwell’s home on South Street, his first studio on Main Street, the Old Corner House (site of the original Norman Rockwell Museum), Chief John Konkapot’s property, the Red Lion Inn, the former site of Alice’s Restaurant, and more!

This special tour features guest Ed Locke, who famously modeled for Rockwell as a young boy, sharing his unique firsthand memories of the artist’s process. As a special memento, all participants will receive a print of The Runaway, one of the memorable paintings for which Ed Locke posed.

Limited capacity- advance reservations required. Event is rain or shine.

Meet in front of The Old Corner House, 48 Main Street; public on street parking. Tours start promptly at the designated time, please allow ample time for parking. Tour route is mostly flat, and on sidewalks.

Join us on Saturday, Oct. 24th at 1pm inside the Enders House on Schoharie Street in Fort Hunter for "On Penalty of Death" presented by historian, Jeff O'Connor as part of our 11th Annual NYS History Month Lecture Series.

During the late spring of 1776, New Dorlach was fertile ground for Sir John Johnson to expect support and possible recruits for Loyalist units. The Tryon County Committee of Safety discovered Johnson’s agents were going door to door seeking support and that the details of those discussions were not to be made public “on Penalty of Death.” What transpired in the committee’s investigation reveals much about the forming of a Loyalist community while the American Revolution began unfolding on New York’s western frontier. As Crown support solidified, the chain of events that followed would affect this community, its neighbors, and the entire region for the duration of the American Revolution.

Free - open to the public - refreshments available.

Join us in celebrating the organic creation Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO: Borrowed Earth on Saturday, October 24, beginning at 2 PM in the Sculpture & Architecture Park at Art Omi.

Borrowed Earth is a newly commissioned work from Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO that embraces impermanence, participation, and the quiet transformation that comes with age. Constructed from rammed earth—a technique rarely used in this region—the work is made from locally sourced soil. Its form is elemental: a composition of columns, at once architectural and inseparable from the landscape. As the seasons shift and weather takes its toll, the columns will slowly erode, gradually blending back into the ground from which they came. In doing so, they make the passage of time visible, revealing the fragile bond between humans and nature. This architecture is meant not to last, but to belong: to land, to change, and to the cycles of nature itself.

The opening will be celebrated with a live musical performance by Lita Vinueza at 3 PM. Presented in the open air alongside Bilbao’s work, Vinueza will respond to Borrowed Earth using custom-designed electronic instruments.

An Ecuadorian-American anti-disciplinary artist building cultural infrastructure through sound, instrument design, performance, public programming, and collective experimentation, Vinueza is the founder of Sonic Liberation Devices (SLDs), a collective and research platform developing experimental instruments and open-source technologies rooted in accessibility, anti-ableist design, collective knowledge, and decolonial approaches to sound.

This opening will conclude Art Omi’s fall architecture programming.

Free. All ages. RSVP encouraged. Walk-ins always welcome.
