Calling all Kids:
Thomas Cole and Olana Offer a
Free Family Program: Making a River

Any kids interested in getting in touch with their inner artist should sign up for this new free program specially designed for children and families called:

"Making a River:
Interpreting the Hudson, Then and Now."
On June 14, Thomas Cole and Olana offer the first of this series of programs designed to bring the Hudson River alive via story-telling, lively discussions and art-making.

The project explores the artistry of 19th-century landscape painters Frederic Church and Thomas Cole and, over the course of an afternoon, families will learn about the connections between the history of the Hudson River, the creative work of these artists, and the conservation efforts that followed.

Participants can join a story-circle about the Hudson River, study original 19th-century paintings of the river, walk outside to the river's edge to sketch the views, create their own paintings of the Hudson River, and take home a free copy of a book by the renowned children's book authors and illustrators Robert Baron and Thomas Locker.

"Making a River," is offered once a month on Sundays, 1 to 4pm, on the following dates:

June 14 - at Thomas Cole
July 12 - at Olana
August 16 - at Thomas Cole
September 6 - at Olana

It alternates between Olana and the Thomas Cole House, where participants can also view the special Quadricentennial exhibitions of Hudson River School paintings.

For more information on this program, please contact Gregory Rosenthal, Education Coordinator, Thomas Cole National Historic Site, 518-943-7465 ext. 2, education@thomascole.org; or Cheryl O'Donnell, Education Coordinator, The Olana Partnership, 518-828-1872, codonnell@olana.org; or visit our websites at www.thomascole.org and www.olana.org.
