Night at the Museum at Frederic Remington

Description

The Frederic Remington Art Museum will be open extended hours for their season's first Night at the Museum, on Friday, June 9 from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. Guests are invited to a wonderful evening of art, classic cars, delicious food, and live music. A suggested donation of $5 is appreciated and all ages are welcome.

Live music will be performed by the North Country Connections Orchestra. The Orchestra is a combined group of multi-age and multi-level performers. They will be playing a nice selection of music from classical, popular, and fiddle music genres. During the intermission, the "Lisa and Lorie Duo” (Alisa Woods playing the cello and Lorie Gruneisen on the violin), will be performing jazz string music written by Jeremy Cohen, and Kathy Wilcox Remick will be performing her own improvisations on the keyboard. This performance of the North Country Connections Orchestra is being supported with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and administered by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council.

Seaway Cruisers Classic Cars Club, Inc. have been invited to 'cruise-in' with their classic and antique cars and park in front of the Museum for the evening. If you are interested in antique, classic and customized vehicles this is a great opportunity to take pictures and talk to the owners of these magnificent cars.

Sunset TexMex food truck is scheduled to park on the Museum property for the event. Bring your appetite and enjoy a taco in the Eleanor Vilas McNally Courtyard or food can be taken to go. The Lemon-Drop stand will be serving up freshly squeezed lemonade on the Museum lawn. A cash bar will be provided by Hosmer’s Marina. Those attending are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the evening on the grounds of the Museum.

In the Museum, guests will be able to tour the Albert P. and Addie P. Newell Galleries filled with Remington’s art, as well as the 2023 Members’ Juried Art Exhibition now on display in the Richard E. Winter Gallery and Torrey Family Gallery. The exhibit is on display until September 10, 2023. Many of the works are for sale with one third of the proceeds benefiting the Frederic Remington Art Museum, and two thirds going to the artist.
