Artists: Apply now for 2014 solo shows
The Locust Grove Estate, Poughkeepsie, is seeking artwork by contemporary artists for exhibition. Locust Grove was the nineteenth-century country home of Samuel Morse who, in addition to being the inventor of the telegraph and Morse Code, was an artist and the founder of the National Academy of Design. In the twentieth century, the estate was owned by Poughkeepsie’s prominent Young family – noted collectors of Hudson River School of Art paintings and the founders of the museum at Locust Grove. In honor of the estate’s rich history in the visual arts, Locust Grove annually presents solo show exhibitions.
