Art at the Towers
A Celebration of Creativity and Heritage
The Pinchots, renowned for their contributions to conservation and social justice, were also ardent patrons of the arts. James and Mary Pinchot provided support, encouragement, and a residence for many Hudson River School artists who found inspiration in Milford and its surrounds. These include Sanford Gifford, John Weir, and Worthington Whittredge, among others.
This art show carries on a cherished family tradition. The Pinchots understood the importance of nurturing creativity and supporting emerging talent. We are thrilled to offer this platform for local artists to perform and share their work with the community.
Art at the Towers will celebrate the Pinchot Legacy by featuring a diverse range of artistic expressions, allowing attendees to engage with the artists and learn about their creative processes.
Artists are expected to demonstrate their craft while also offering items for sale.
