New Hampshire has attracted and inspired artists since the colonial era. What is distinctive about the art made there? Explore works by itinerant and folk painters, landscape artists drawn to the state's scenic vistas, and modern artists who adopted bold styles to depict everyday life in the Granite State. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Childe Hassam, and Maxfield Parrish are some of the artists discussed in this program. Led by art historian Jane Oneail, founder of Culturally Curious, a company that curates and delivers art appreciation programs for audiences worldwide. With a Master’s in Art History from Boston University and a Master’s in Education from Harvard University, Oneail has worked at some of New Hampshire's most esteemed cultural institutions, including as Executive Director of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and Senior Educator at the Currier Museum of Art. She also taught at the college level, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.
