Artist and teacher Howard Rose will be leading a series of Plein Air Painting Classes for this summer with the Bridgehampton Museum. Plein Air painting has a lengthy history on the East End of Long Island with artists like William Merritt Chase. These classes are for artists of all abilities from beginners to professionals and will take place at a series of beautiful locations within the Bridgehampton area. Join us to get hands on with some history!

The Bridge holds a special place in the history of the East End. Not only does it have some of the most beautiful views of anywhere on Long Island, but it was also where, in 1953, the Bridgehampton Road Races Corporation began work to construct one of the first purpose-built race circuits in the country. Famous drivers from all over the world came to Bridgehampton to take a few laps. While the track is now a thing of the past and a golf course takes its place today, the club pays homage to its racing history to this day.

At the culmination of this program, The Bridgehampton Museum will be hosting an exhibition of works done by students in this class. Each student will be able to submit one piece they worked on during one of the classes to be part of the exhibition which will be on view in the museum this fall.
