The Frederic Remington Art Museum invites the public to its Holiday Open House Saturday, December 9, 2023, 10AM-4PM.

Guests can enjoy the festive decorations, gallery exhibits, live holiday music, local vendors, and discounts in the museum shop. Admission is $5.
From 11AM-1PM, local singer and songwriter Jaynie Trudell will perform live in the Museum’s Tiffany Room. Her performance is generously sponsored by America 1 Realty. Jayne plays country blues, classic rock and folk music.

The orchestra will open with a reading of the Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg followed by well-known Christmas favorites including Angels We Have Heard on High, Hark! The Herald Angels, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Deck the Halls, Up on the Housetop and Jingle Bells. Guests will be encouraged to sign along. The finale includes fun pieces called Who Let the Elves Out?? and Hallelujah Chorus.
The Museum Shop carries unique gifts including framed prints, bronze sculpture reproductions, art books, posters, clothing, and more. For the Holiday Open House, the Shop offers discounts on select items in celebration of the season.

The Frederic Remington Art Museum invites visitors to stroll through its galleries during the event. The Museum will have staff and docents on hand, prepared to answer your questions about Frederic Remington and engage in conversation about his art. Visitors can also take a peek at the 2023 New York State Juried Art Exhibition in the Museum’s Richard E. Winter Gallery & Torrey Family Gallery. Many of the works on display are for sale with one third of the proceeds to benefit the museum, and two thirds going to the artist.
