S2. Art Colonies in New England

Are you looking for a fun and informative adventure this summer? Then join me for this course on Art Colonies in New England! We’ll explore eight late-19th and early-20th century summer art colonies across New England; Provincetown and Cape Ann in Massachusetts, North Conway and Cornish in New Hampshire, Old Lyme and Cos Cob in Connecticut, and Ogunquit and Monhegan Island in Maine. During the summer months, you’ll be able to visit the sites and museums we’ll discuss that reflect the incredible creative energy that still exists in these art colonies in New England.
