Art

The Onteora Club, with support from the Onteora Historic Preservation Trust, maintains the Club’s unique commitment to regional art.  Onteora Club sponsors an art show every August in the Field House featuring local and member artists.


Shown above is the entrance to Artist’s Seat Cave where the names of legendary Hudson River School painters who painted in the region (Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, Frederic Church, Worthington Whittredge and others) are etched in stone.  Notable artists who have painted or lived at Onteora include George Agnew Reid, Candace Wheeler, J. Carroll Beckwith, Dora Wheeler Keith, John White Alexander, Mary Hiester Reid, Malcolm McKesson and George H. Lewis.
