Beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the museum’s galleries, guests will mingle over drinks and canapés while viewing the phenomenal Regional Dialect: American Scene Paintings from the John and Susan Horseman Collection, which brings together fifty-seven major works of art that examine American identity in the first half of the twentieth century. The Horseman Collection includes masterworks by many of the most influential artists of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940 who were working outside of the major art centers.
