OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum will hold the season's last Night at the Museum from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 23.

Classical guitarist and award winning photojournalist, Gary Walts will provide guests with live music in the Eleanor Vilas McNally Courtyard. Mr. Walts studied guitar locally with Ron Sacci of Watertown and then with world reknowned Christopher Parkening in Master Classes for three consecutive years at Messiah College near Harrisburg, Penn. in the 1980s.

The museum will be open extended hours for guests to take in the Museum’s exhibits, including the 2018 Members’ Juried Art Exhibit and “Form and Gesture: Drawings by Frederic Remington” curated by artist-in-residence Margaret Jacobs. Light refreshments will be available as well as a cash bar provided by Hosmer's Marina.

Admission will be $5 for members and $10 for non-members.

The Wimpy’s Inn food truck is scheduled to park on the Museum property for the event. A wonderful addition to live music, guest are welcome to enjoy the music, see the art and partake in this delicious long-standing Ogdensburg tradition.

From 6 to 7 p.m., the Museum will offer a new public educational program, “One Hour One Work,” in the Albert P. Newell Gallery.

The program invites participants to slow down and dive deep into a single work of art on display at the Remington Museum. A Museum educator will facilitate 60 minutes of focused looking, consideration, conversation, and interpretation of a single artwork. Featured will be Frederic Remington’s 1907 oil painting “The Sentinel.”

This program is free with admission to the event, but reservations are requested, in order to facilitate close looking and ease of conversation.
