Director's Letters

It is with great disappointment that the Hudson River Museum shares that we were notified on the night of April 9 that our Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) matching grant was abruptly terminated.

Our IMLS grant is intended to help the Hudson River Museum be able to inform scholarship and share our collection with a wide audience. The work would not be possible without this impactful grant.

Museums Advocacy Day provides a critical opportunity to make the case for museums in what is sure to be a high-stakes year for museums and other causes. It’s also the perfect time to inform your elected officials about the essential value, collective contributions, and aspirations of museums.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this year’s Lunar New Year celebration such a vibrant and resounding success at the Hudson River Museum!

As the year comes to a close, we at the Hudson River Museum reflect with deep gratitude on all that we’ve achieved together in 2024. Your support and engagement have made it a very special year, and we are so thankful to have you as part of our community.

Your presence and participation help to ensure the continued growth and resonance of our programs, and we look forward to welcoming you in the season ahead to celebrate, create, and connect.

As we welcome the crisp air and vibrant colors of autumn, I am excited to share an inspiring lineup of exhibitions and programs designed to provoke thought and ignite conversations.

As the summer heat settles over our region, we invite you to beat the heat while enjoying the fantastic programming offered here at the Hudson River Museum.

While the Sun and the Moon took center stage, the real stars of the day were all of you!

February is a month of reflection, history, celebration, and amplifying voices that matter. We eagerly anticipate sharing these special moments with you, blending traditional and contemporary resonance.
