The Loeb & DCHS Announce Formal Partnership

The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College and the Dutchess County Historical Society have formalized a partnership around their shared goals of community engagement and education through the visual arts, with a view to offering more inclusive and insightful historical narratives as context.

The first collaboration is the November and December 2022 exhibition, “They Suppose You Are a Gentleman:” Caroline Clowes’ Exceptional Path to National Artistic Acclaim, which is being held at the Locust Grove Estate in Poughkeepsie.

Important financial support comes from the Members’ Fund of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. Other support comes in the form of the involvement of students, graduates and Ph.D. candidates. There will be an expansion of both short and long-term loans of DCHS Collections for exhibition at the Loeb.

Bart Thurber, Director and Lecturer in Art at the Center said, the goal of the partnership is “to shine a light on the long overlooked histories in the region.”

Bill Jeffway, Executive Director of DCHS said, “the two organizations have the perfect balance of shared goals and complimentary skills and resources; together we will have a much greater impact than we could individually.”

Please help support the November/December exhibition of the paintings, drawings, letters, photographs, life and legacy of Caroline Morgan Clowes:
