Plein Air with Howard Rose

A painting workshop for all experience levels!

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 throughout the East End. Join us to get hands on with some history!

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.

Rain Plan

If it looks like incliment weather will impact the classes ability to be outside, The Bridgehampton Museum will send out emails alerting students about any cancellations or changes to the venue. The general rain plan will be to move the class to an indoor lesson to take place at the Nathaniel Rogers House, 2539 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton, NY 11932. Be sure to include an accurate email address when signing up.
