Many of our members and friends of the Institute head south for the cold months, and this winter some of our very special friends, like Arthur Dove, George Luks, and Mark Rothko, will be joining them. From January 24 through April 15, 2012 Prendergast to Pollock: American Modernism from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute will be exhibited at The Naples Museum of Art in Naples, Florida.

Dr. Paul Schweizer, our Museum Director and Chief Curator, will be delivering a lecture there about Edward Wales Root and his spectacular collection 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, February 15. We are also organizing a social event, likely that same day, for our “snowbird” members who will be in the area. If you would like an invitation to that event, please contact JoAnne Colenzo 315-797-0000, extension 2149 or email with your winter address. We look forward to seeing you in Naples!
