En Plein Air with Howard Rose at Bridge Gardens

Artist and teacher Howard Rose will be leading a series of Plein Air Painting Classes for this summer with the Bridgehampton Museum. Plein Air painting has a lengthy history on the East End of Long Island with artists like William Merritt Chase. These classes are for artists of all abilities from beginners to professionals and will take place at a series of beautiful locations within the Bridgehampton area. Join us to get hands on with some history!

Donated to the Peconic Land Trust in 2008 by Jim Kilpatric and Harry Neyens, Bridge Gardens is a five-acre gem in the heart of Bridgehampton. A unique public and demonstration garden with mysterious hedgerows, with a wide variety of perennial and annual flowers and shrubs, the Trust has maintained the characteristics of the gardens planted by Jim and Harry while introducing new elements and programs that tie it to the organization’s conservation mission.
At the culmination of this program, The Bridgehampton Museum will be hosting an exhibition of works done by students in this class. Each student will be able to submit one piece they worked on during one of the classes to be part of the exhibition which will be on view in the museum this fall.
