Dear Friends of the HRM,

I write to you today with utmost gratitude for your invaluable contributions toward the debut of the Hudson River Museum’s magnificent new West Wing and the captivating summer exhibitions, Kengo Kito: Unity on the Hudson and Sylvia Sleigh: An Invitation to a Voyage. Your unwavering support and involvement have played an integral role in furthering the Museum’s mission and leaving a lasting impact on our beloved community. It was wonderful to share this inspiring new space and exhibitions at our opening reception last week. Please enjoy these photos of our joyous evening together, as well as the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The addition of this long-awaited space has provided us with boundless opportunities to explore, inspire, and connect with art, history, and the natural world. Your presence brings with it the power of participation and the transformative impact it can have on our society.

As supporters of our Museum, you are the heart and soul of our institution. Your unwavering dedication, generosity, and passion have enabled us to flourish and fulfill our mission of engaging, inspiring, and connecting our diverse communities through the power of the arts, sciences, and history. Your support has paved the way for bold exhibitions, educational programs, and community initiatives, creating a nurturing environment for creativity, discovery, and enlightenment.

I extend my deepest appreciation for your commitment to the Hudson River Museum and for being an invaluable part of our journey. Your presence, patronage, and enthusiasm have not only bolstered our efforts but have also enriched the lives of countless individuals in our community. We are eternally grateful for your partnership and the impact we continue to make together.

Thank you for embodying the spirit of unity on the Hudson!
