Fort Tryon Park: Outdoor Painting Workshop with Francis Hsueh

Explore Fort Tryon Park through the eyes of local artist Francis Hsueh in this special outdoor painting workshop!

We are thrilled that our Outdoor Painting Workshop with Francis Hseuh sold out in record time! That said, we’d love to welcome members of the public to join us. If you’d like to participate, please bring your own painting materials and chair, as our very limited provided supplies and seating are reserved for registered attendees.

Inspired by the landscapes and beauty of the park (subjects that appear throughout much of his work) participants will sketch and paint while learning techniques for observing and capturing nature on canvas.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist, this workshop offers a chance to slow down, create, and see the park from a new perspective

 

Our Saviour’s Atonement: Meditative Mondays – Mirror

Meditative Mondays is a unique experience combining a guided meditation with a live performance of music by some of the most important composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

On June 15th we’ll pair the meditation goal of self reflection with an iconic piece by “mystical minimalist” composer Arvo Pärt.  We’ll perform Spiegel Im Spiegel, which means Mirror In Mirror, composed in Pärt’s “tintinnabular” style consisting of a lyrical melody and spare, “bell-like” accompaniment.  We’ll also perform John Cage’s piece In a Dream, a meditative arrangement of Miles Davis’ dreamy Blue ‘N Green and a beautiful new piece by Australian composer Elena Kats Chernin.
