Friday Festivities: Be Like Vanderlyn

Friday, September 19, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Stop by the Senate House grounds on Friday, September 19, and draw like Vanderlyn! John Vanderlyn was an artist born in Kingston who studied painting in Paris thanks to his patron Aaron Burr. Senate House has the largest collection of Vanderlyn's art in the world. Join us for this free, quick, drop-in craft. We'll have art supplies out for you to try your hand at portrait art. This family friendly drop-in activity is free, weather dependent and runs while supplies last.
Registration: Not required
