Join us at Olana State Historic Site on Thursday, June 25, 2026, from 11am – 1pm to celebrate the opening of Upstate Art Weekend 2026 in partnership with Bloomberg Connects.

The program includes a welcome toast followed by Creative Exchange in the Hudson Valley, a conversation with artists Jean Shin, Gabriela Salazar, and Ellen Harvey, moderated by UAW founder Helen Toomer, and an opportunity to explore Olana’s grounds after.

Presented in celebration of Frederic Church's 200th birthday year, the discussion will explore the intersections of art, landscape, place, and creative community across the region.

Local refreshments provided by Bread Alone, Hudson Roastery, Gracie’s, and Alltown Fresh.
