Opening Reception: Impressionism Then and Now

Join us to celebrate the opening of our Spring/Summer 2025 exhibition, Impressionism Then and Now: Dmitri Wright and the American Lineage. Featuring historic works of American Impressionism as well as contemporary pieces continuing the tradition, this is a personal story of Impressionism told and seen through one painter’s journey. The exhibition also includes a life-sized mural of Wright's unique teaching tool, the "Tree of Impressionism". 

As a student, master painter, and educator, Dmitri Wright is part of the lineage of American Impressionist artists who lived, learned, and worked in the very places Wright does today—carrying on the tradition of his forbears in a way that is authentic to both the canon and his own contemporary interpretations. We are pleased to present this exhibition with our community partner, Weir Farm National Historical Park, a living museum honoring the work and legacy of artist Julian Alden Weir and American Impressionism. As Master Impressionist Painter and Weir Farm Instructor, Dmitri Wright’s easel and palette are on display there.
