Southampton - The Parrish Art Museum will host its fall Family Tour and Art Workshop of the exhibition "American Landscapes: Treasures from the Parrish Art Museum" on Sunday, October 18, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Art educator Madolin Archer will conduct a tour of the exhibition, after which children and adults are invited to the Carroll Petrie Center for Education, adjacent to the museum, to create their own art work, inspired by the works in the exhibition. Art projects will include landscape painting, collage, and printmaking.

"American Landscapes: Treasures from the Parrish Art Museum" consists of some 50 landscape paintings ranging from such early 19th-century painters as Thomas Doughty and Asher B. Durand to contemporary artists Jennifer Bartlett and April Gornik.

The exhibition traces the progression of American landscape painting from the Hudson River School to the present and affirms the historical importance and on-going vitality of landscape painting in the history of American art. 'American Landscapes' has been organized by Alicia Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman, Chief Curator, Art and Education.

The Family Day is free for Parrish members and $5 for non-members. No advance registration is required. For more information on these and other family programs, call 631-283-2118, ext. 30 or visit parrishart.org.

The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
