The Lay of the Land March 23, 2011

The Friends of the Collection was established in 1983 when the Museum opened the Charles Shipman Payson Building in order to enrich the permanent collection. Featuring approximately 30 works, this exhibition focuses on the art acquired with the generosity of the Friends of the Collection. The exhibition will focus on landscapes in particular and will include paintings, watercolors, and prints by a diverse group of artists such as Harrison Bird Brown, Charles Codman, John Calvin Stevens, Robert Henri, Will Barnet, and Waldo Peirce.
