Documentary on Canadian Landscape Artists to Screen Aug 2 at Gilboa Museum

GILBOA — A free screening of the documentary film “Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven” will be held on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 4:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Gilboa Museum on Stryker Road.

The film explores the work of Canada's renowned "Group of Seven" landscape artists. Organizers noted the film has a special meaning for the region, as the Catskills inspired the Hudson River School, another important landscape art movement.

The screening will take place surrounded by the art of the "Land & Water" show. Refreshments and popcorn will be served. The event is free and open to the public, though donations are gratefully accepted.
