Thursday Trips
Due to the large number of places closed on Wednesdays in the winter season, the Trips Committee has gotten permission to offer Thursday trips for sites that aren’t open Wednesdays but do operate on Thursdays.
New Trips
Thursday, November 4, Hudson River Museum, Yonkers. Exhibitions include: Richard Haas - “Circles of Space,” the relationship between abstraction, color theory and the geometry of the universe; Jack Stuppin - “The Beginning of My World,” oil paintings of vibrant landscapes; “Landscape Art and Virtual Travel,” over 100 small paintings hung together; “African American Art in the 20th Century”; and Jamel Robinson - “Beauty from Ashes,” the Black Experience. The Experience was inspired by the previous exhibition.
The Riverama is closed, and Glenview house is closed to groups, but individuals may take the 1 pm tour; the Planetarium is open Saturdays and Sundays.

Guided tour of the gallery including: “American Impressions: A Nation in Prints,” focusing on its own collection; “Changing Forms: Metamorphosis in Myth, Art and Nature,” in the Netherlands in the late 17th century; and “Celebrating Dante at Vassar,” 700th anniversary of the Italian poet who wrote The Divine Comedy.
