OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum's next Night at the Museum will be held from 6-8 p.m. Thursday July 19.

The event marks the museum's 95th anniversary, to the day. In celebration, there will be cake and live music. The museum will also celebrate the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Ogdensburg.

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, and enjoy live music in the Eleanor Vilas McNally Courtyard.

Light refreshments will be available and as well as a cash bar provided by Hosmer's Marina.

Admission will be $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers.

Musical guests Uprooted!, which includes Catherine Jahncke on bass, guitar and vocals; Rosemary Phillips on mandolin, guitar and vocals; and Lenore VanderZee, on guitar and vocals, will perform their eclectic, acoustic, Americana music at the Museum for the first time.

The Wimpy’s Inn food truck is scheduled to park on the Museum property for the event.

From 6-7 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 1909 oil painting "The Sun Dance."

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