The picturesque campus of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY houses an inviting and intimate Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center which serves as an art education lab for students and faculty and an exhibition venue for the public. The center is holding insightful exposés from its collection rotating the focus from American Contemporary Art to Northern European Renaissance to Abstract Impressionism. A visit to the art center organically fits in with pensive nature walks and visits to the historic sites in Hudson Valley.

The Northern European Art 1500-1700 exhibition is celebrating the career of Susan Donahue Kuretsky, Vassar College Class of 1963 and Professor of Art who taught at Vassar for forty years. The exhibition will be on view from April 27 – September 2, 2018 and the admission to the art center is free of charge.
