We had a fantastic time at the Meet Me at the Institute program at the Albany Institute of History & Art, exploring the beautiful winter paintings of Hudson Valley artist Walter Launt Palmer—known as the “Painter of the American Winter.”
A huge thank you to our phenomenal docent, Natalie Oliver, who helped bring each painting to life. Her knowledge of the artist and his techniques helped our residents truly connect with the art and share their own winter memories. www.albanyinstitute.org/events/this-week/meet-me-at-the-institute-2 www.albanyinstitute.org/
