Art Project LIVE: Time Travel on the Hudson

How did people in the Hudson Valley travel before we had cars and buses and commuter trains and airplanes? The River was their highway. In this virtual workshop, take a look at artworks from our collection that feature some of the vessels you could, and sometimes still can, see on the Hudson River before designing your own water vessel. All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil; other materials optional. Recommended for ages 5+.
