Ticket Price Members: Free

As American artists—often having trained in France—returned home in the late nineteenth century, they put a distinctly American twist on the Impressionist style of painting, creating a new genre and teaching it to subsequent generations of artists. America’s Impressionism: Echoes of a Revolution explores this history, bringing together more than sixty works to show this important evolution in American painting.

Members see it first! View the exhibition, chat with gallery hosts, enjoy light snacks and enter to win a special exhibition prize pack.
