Art at Grey Towers: A Celebration of Creativity and Heritage

This plein art event will offer a glimpse into the artist’s technique as well as a showcase for their craft.

The Pinchots, renowned for their contributions to conservation and social justice, were also ardent patrons of the arts. James and Mary Pinchot provided support, encouragement, and a residence for many Hudson River School artists who found inspiration in Milford and its surrounds. These include Sanford Gifford, John Weir, and Worthington Whittredge, among others.

This plein art show carries on a cherished family tradition. The Pinchots understood the importance of nurturing creativity and supporting emerging talent. We are thrilled to offer this platform for local artists to perform and share their work with the community.

The event will feature a diverse range of artistic expressions, allowing attendees to engage with the artists and learn about their creative processes. Artwork will be available for purchase, providing an opportunity to support local talent and acquire unique pieces.

Enjoy the grounds of this historic site while discovering the diverse talents of the region’s artistic community. The event is open to the public at no cost, another Pinchot tradition.
